The announcement came less than a day after the UK government grounded passenger planes on Wednesday night amid fears that a Russian airliner, which crashed Saturday in the Sinai desert, was brought down by a bomb. But on Thursday, UK authorities allowed rescue flights to repatriate British tourists.
"Following the decision by the UK Government to allow UK airlines to fly aircraft into Sharm el Sheikh from tomorrow in order to repatriate customers, easyJet can confirm it plans to resume its scheduled flights tomorrow," the company said.
On October 31, an Airbus A321 flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg came down in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. All 224 people on board were killed in what has become the largest civil aviation disaster in Russian and Soviet history.
