Egypt’s resort cities remain unavailable for Russians

Resuming flights between Russia and Egypt’s resort cities is impossible at the moment, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said on the sidelines of the Sochi investment forum.

According to the minister, he was approached by the Egyptian deputy foreign minister in Kuwait  yesterday, who asked when the resort cities will be open for air traffic . "I said there is no such an opportunity now," TASS cited Dvorkovich as saying.

The minister recalled that flights to Cairo will be restored in late February. The decision to this effect was made after Cairo airport tightened security to comply with Russia’s request.
