Russia imposed ban on flights to Egypt due to security concerns following the crash of a Russian-operated Airbus A321 over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in October, which killed all 224 people on board, after an explosive device detonated in the passenger compartment.

Flights between Egypt and Russia may resume after a joint Russian-Egyptian effort at increasing airport security in Egypt has concluded, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
