More than 30 businesses within the travel industry have met with the UK government in a bid to highlight how devastating the ban on UK flights to Sharm el Sheikh has been to their businesses.

The group, which comprised airlines, tour operators, hoteliers and Nile cruise companies, has created the Travel Industry Egypt Advisory Group, which is working in partnership with the Egyptian Tourist Office in London.

In a statement the body of companies including Tui, Monarch, Saga Holidays, Discover Egypt and Cox & Kings among others, said it had met with the all-party parliamentary group on Egypt in the House of Commons and House of Lords to “seek support for a swift government decision”.
