TUI tour company detailed its planned flights to the Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, beginning from February 2020, following the UK government’s lifting of restrictions on the direct flights.

TUI will organize trips to the Red Sea's popular destinations from five UK airports, according to the Express.

The UK-based holidaymaker will operate direct flights from airports of Birmingham (BHX), London Gatwick (LGW), and Manchester (MAN) to Sharm El Sheikh (SSH) in February 2020. It will also resume flights from Doncaster/Sheffield (DSA) and Bristol (BRS) to SSH by the start of May 2020.
