Thomas Cook has cancelled its Sharm el Sheikh programme for the entire summer.

The operator had previously decided to cancel all bookings to the Red Sea resort until May 25, but has now wiped out the whole summer season, saying it will not return until November 1 at the earliest.

Cook said it had taken the decision following “no change” to Foreign Office advice with regards to travelling through the resort’s airport, from which a Russian charter flight was bombed in October last year.

“In light of this, and given that we have no clear indication as to when the FCO travel advice may change, Thomas Cook can confirm that it has taken the decision to cancel all bookings to Sharm el Sheikh up to and including Monday October 31, 2016,” it said.
