More efforts needed to resume Russia-Egypt flights, Russian deputy minister says

Egypt needs to do more to improve airport and aircraft security flights from Russia can resume, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told Sputnik. Resuming flights from Russia to Egypt require more bilateral contacts and efforts to improve airport and aircraft security, Bogdnaov said adding that Russia wants the air travel to resume as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the two countries have been conducting a joint investigation into the crash and cooperating on enhancing the security of Egyptian airports. Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov, however, said his ministry has not yet received a response to Russia’s complaints about security at Egyptian airports, which include “introducing requirements on ensuring aviation security at flights that go through the Russian Federation, as well as providing service to passengers, planes, cargoes and mail sent to the Russian Federation,” said Deputy Transportation Minister Valery Okulov.  (Enterprise)
