Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport on Monday received its first direct Russian flight from Moscow after more than six years since the crash of a Russian plane in 2015. Sources at Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport revealed that the Russian flight was carrying about 522 Russian tourists, and the flight was sprayed as an international custom when a flight arrives at airports for the first time. The tourists were received by Governor of South Sinai General Khaled Fouda, and Russian Ambassador to Egypt Georgiy Borisenko. Over the past few years, Egypt has dramatically improved its system of checks for passengers and luggage, and tremendously improved its airport infrastructure. On July 8, Putin struck down the order signed in 2015 which banned flights to Egypt’s resorts operated by Russian airlines.
