United Kingdom travellers face three day wait for Sharm el Sheikh departure

Speaking at an event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of easyJet's first flight, chief executive Carolyn McCall said: " British airports have very tight security and they have really tightened up on security in the last few years, so this is not a blanket thing. But he said Russian Federation will not alter its current military strategy in the meantime.

An affiliate of the Islamic State terrorist group active in Sinai claimed responsibility for the crash, which is the deadliest civil aviation disaster in Russian history.

"I want to say that we should not jump to conclusions before the results of the investigations".

Netanyahu said his meeting with Obama on restarting the defense aid talks was a "very good meeting".

Ivanov spoke as experts continue to probe the cause of the crash of the Russian plane, and as tens of thousands of wary tourists from Russia and western Europe continue evacuating Egyptian resorts.

Also last week, it was reported that another Russian aircraft has crashed in neighboring South Sudan, killing scores of people.

All Britons stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh following a plane crash 11 days ago should be home by the end of this week, the Foreign Secretary has said. A growing global chorus has backed the theory that the plane was downed in an attack, with British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond saying Monday it was "more likely than not" that the plane was downed by an "explosive device placed on board".

"The king stressed full confidence in Egyptian security, army and government", it said.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Wednesday said his visit was a message of support for investors and businesses in Sharm el-Sheikh and Egypt's other main Red Sea resort of Hurghada.

There are another three due into the country's third biggest hub on Tuesday evening with Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson, landing from 8.50pm onwards.

There has been little mention of the incident on Egyptian state television.

Derek Moore, chairman of Britain's Association of Independent Tour Operators, said that following the crash "the key to air travel... will be the reputation of particular airports".

Commenting on media reports that Moscow was also mulling suspension of flights to other destinations in the Middle East, Ivanov said that Russian intelligence agencies have made no such advice, but added that Moscow was monitoring the general security situation and airport security in other countries in the region.
