First German passenger flight arrives in Sharm El-Sheikh after a year of travel ban is lifted

The first German air flight arrived at the Sharm El-Sheikh airport Monday night, putting an end to the European country's one-year travel ban to the Red Sea resort city. The Air Germania flight had 141 passengers on board, all German tourists. German airlines were amongst several foreign carriers that imposed travel bans on flights to Sharm El-Sheikh after a Russian passenger jet had crashed over Sinai in October 2015, killing all 224 people on board, most of whom were holidaymakers. In recent weeks, a number of foreign airlines have resumed flights to Sharm El-Sheikh airport, including Turkish Airlines and Polish Airlines. Moscow and Cairo are currently negotiating the resumption of Russian flights to Egypt. (ahramonline)
