Russia Resumes Charter Flights to Red Sea Resorts

Today, Tuesday, charter flights were resumed from Russia to the Egyptian Red Sea resorts.

The Tour Operators Association said that with the resumption of charter flights, the price of a tourist trip from Russia to Egypt decreased by 20%, and officials in the Russian tourism sector indicated that the price of a tourist trip for a week by charter flight now ranges from 15 thousand to 26 thousand rubles.

In addition to the resumption of irregular flights with Egypt, flights from Russia to Thailand, Tunisia, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Iran, Oman, Slovenia and the Bahamas were resumed today.

On August 9, regular flights from Russia to Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada were resumed. This came after Moscow and Cairo agreed in April to fully resume air traffic between the two countries, including with Egyptian resorts.
