PERM (Russia) (Sputnik) — Russian experts finished inspection of safety levels in the major Egyptian airports, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said Tuesday.

Earlier in November, Dvorkovich said that Russian specialists would carry out a safety audit in the Egyptian airports and prepare recommendations on how to improve security measures. This decision was made soon after the Russian A321 plane crashed in Egypt.

"They [experts] have finished work, returned to Moscow and are drafting their recommendations," Dvorkovich told reporters.
