According to RIA Novosti, this was reported by the operational headquarters to combat the spread of coronavirus.

"The issue of the number of flights to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh will be decided at a meeting of the operational headquarters to prevent the import and spread of a new coronavirus infection," the headquarters said.

Earlier, the Association of Tour Operators of Russia reported that Russian tour operators expressed their readiness, in case of permission from the authorities, to launch charter flights to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh from 20 cities of the country.

ATOR also said 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, it became known that the presidents of Russia and Egypt, Vladimir Putin and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, agreed on the full resumption of flights between the two countries.
