CAIRO (Sputnik) — Earlier on Friday, Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, where flights from Cairo are received, sent EgyptAir a notification by Russia's civil aviation regulator Rosaviatsia, on the cancellation of a Saturday morning flight to Moscow.
"Egyptian civil aviation authorities carry out contacts with the Russian side to clarify the reasons, which motivated it to make this decision [on flight cancellation]," Kamal told reporters.
Russia, as well as many European states, including Germany, Britain, Ireland, Belgium, France and the Netherlands, has suspended passenger flights to Egypt after a Russian-owned Airbus A321 crashed in the Sinai Peninsula on October 31.
The Airbus A321 crashed en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, killing all 224 people on board. The tragedy is the largest civil aviation disaster in Russian history.
