The UK government yesterday announced that while flights taking customers to the destination remained banned, today would see the launch of a service bringing customers home.
However, all hold luggage on the return flights has been banned with certain restrictions placed on carry-on bags too.
The flights are being operated by easyJet, Monarch, Thomson and British Airways in an attempt to bring home anything between 9,000 and 19,000 passengers.
However, both newspaper reports and social media suggest the situation at Sharm’s airport is descending into chaos. Some reports have even claimed that the today’s entire programme has been cancelled.
