MOSCOW (Sputnik) Earlier in November, Russian security experts went to Egypt to assess the levels of safety at the major Egyptian airports and to make recommendations for additional measures.

"Egypt's authorities are responsible for security in the country's airports. We have special structures regulating rules in the field of civil aviation and our own security experts. They discussed appropriate options with the [Russian] experts that would satisfy both sides. We will eventually arrive at a conclusion that satisfies both of us," Badri told RIA Novosti.

Concerns about security at Egyptian airports arose after a Russian Kogalymavia-operated A321 airliner, carrying 224 people, crashed in the Sinai Peninsula, on October 31, en route from Egupt's Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, leaving no survivors. The Russian Federal Security Service later confirmed that the plane crash was caused by a terrorist attack.
