It is noted that during the meeting, the parties, among other things, discussed the “problems of charter flights to the popular tourist destinations in Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh”.

“We will strive to resume charter flights on these routes in the near future,” RIA Novosti quotes Putin.

In August, it was reported that about 120 thousand Russian tourists visited Egypt after the opening of regular flights between Moscow and Cairo.

In November 2015, flights of Russian aircraft to Egypt were suspended. This happened after the emergency with the Russian A321 over the Sinai Peninsula.

The explosion laid on board a homemade bomb killed 224 people, including seven crew members.
