Tui and Red Sea Holidays have confirmed they will return to Sharm el Sheikh after the UK government’s flight ban was lifted.

Going that extra mile (literally)

The FCO is no longer advising against all but essential travel by air to and from the Egyptian resort after a four-year ban having worked with Egyptian authorities to enable flights to resume.

Sharm’s prohibition followed the crash of a Russian Metrojet flight in North Sinai in October 2015 which killed 224 passengers and crew.

A Tui spokesperson said: “We will reintroduce Sharm el Sheikh, taking into account customer demand, and will now work closely with our hotel and airport partners, so we can confirm more details in due course.
