A team of security experts, affiliated with the Russian Transport Ministry took over lounges and counters designated for Russian tourists at Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada airports in order to inspect the terminals before the takeoff of the flights. This comes a few hours before the arrival of the first flights from Moscow to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh airports on Monday. These regulations come in preparation for the arrival of the first direct flights to Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada airports, on Monday. Officials at the Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh airports have completed full preparations to receive Russian tourists on Monday, and assured the strict implementation of all precautionary measures. On July 8, Putin struck down the order signed in 2015 which banned flights to Egypt’s resorts operated by Russian airlines.
