Russian President Vladimir Putin has lifted on Thursday a ban on Russia\u2019s charter flights to Egypt, a step expected to be a boon for Egypt\u2019s year-round Red Sea resorts in Sharm al-Sheikh and Hurghada.<\/p>\n

These two cities used to allure large number of Russians in the past.<\/p>\n

The move came six years after suspending these flights for national security seasons in the aftermath of a plane from Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg crashed over the Sinai Peninsula in October 2015, killing 224 people. Russia concluded that a bomb was behind the plane crash. A group affiliated with Islamic State (ISIS) extremists claimed responsibility for the crash at the time.<\/p>\n

Since the plane crash, Egyptian authorities have spent millions of dollars to upgrade security at its airports, hoping to get Moscow to resume flights to its resorts.<\/p>\n

In April, Egypt and Russia agreed to resume all flights between the two countries in a call between their presidents, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n
