Grant on Friday (20 March) spoke of the operator’s efforts to repatriate hundreds of clients against the clock after Egyptian authorities ordered all flights be suspended by midday on Thursday (19 March).
The operator said it took “prompt action” to secure the aircraft necessary to stage its repatriation effort and was able to bring home “almost all” of its clients by the midday deadline on Thursday, adding a small number remained in Egypt and would return “in the coming days”.
