“In case of permission for charter flights to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, seven federal tour operators are ready to resume their work in the Egyptian direction ... these companies will be able to open charter flights to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh from more than 20 cities in Russia, from which are allowed international air traffic, ”the message says.
According to ATOR, at the first stage, charter flights to Egyptian resorts, except for Moscow and St. Petersburg, can be opened from Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Voronezh, Novosibirsk, Ufa, Rostov, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara and Krasnodar.
According to the "optimistic" forecast of the organization, thus, over 200 thousand people a month will be able to fly to Egypt by charter flights.
Earlier, ATOR reported that the cost of a package tour to Egypt, most likely, will not exceed $ 300-500 per week for a charter flight and accommodation in a three-star hotel.
On April 23, the presidents of Russia and Egypt, Vladimir Putin and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, agreed on the full resumption of flights between the two countries.
