On Wednesday, the UK government concluded that the Russian A321 passenger plane, en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, might have crashed on October 31 due to a bomb explosion, and suspended all flights to and from the Egyptian city until additional security measures were taken.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — British Prime Minister David Cameron in a phone call with President Vladimir Putin on Thursday did not name any concrete reason for suspension of flights from the UK to Egypt following the crash of a Russian passenger plane on the Sinai Peninsula, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"I cannot speak for the British side, but Cameron did not offer any concrete explanation," Peskov told reporters in Moscow.

Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry has already criticized London's decision to suspend air traffic, labeling the move premature.

On October 31, an Airbus A321 operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia, crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. All 224 people on board were killed in what has become the largest civil aviation disaster in Russian and Soviet history.

A variety of leads have been set out by the experts following the accident from a terrorist attack to a technical glitch.
