Egypt implements 90% of Russia’s security requirements to resume flights

Egypt has implemented 90% of Russia’s security requirements to resume flights, and four items remain, Russian Federation Council chairwoman Valentina Matviyenko said. Once Egypt completes the remaining requirements, a Russian delegation will visit to discuss the possibility of resuming flights, which is a step “everyone is waiting to announce as soon as possible,” said Matviyenko — who is in Egypt as part of a larger trade delegation to discuss investments in the Russian Industrial Zone. Russia’s Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov had said last week that flights to Egypt could in principle resume in March, and expects Russian carrier Aeroflot to be the first Russian airline to resume flying to Egypt, starting with direct flights to Cairo.
