On Saturday, the Kremlin published a decree advising travel agencies to not sell tours to Turkey due to security concerns after Turkey shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber over an alleged violation of the country's airspace.

Earlier in November, Russia announced the repatriation of its citizens vacationing in Egypt following a terrorist act that resulted in the largest disaster in the history of Russian civil aviation. A Russian-owned Airbus A321 crashed en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, killing all 224 people on board, after a home-made explosive device detonated in the passenger compartment.
