ROME (Sputnik) – Russian experts will travel to Egypt in the next 2-3 days to inspect security at the country's airports, Russia's Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said Friday.
"It will be a delegation of Russian experts in the area of flight security, including officials from Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency [Rosaviatsia]. I am sure it will happen in the next 2-3 days," Sokolov told reporters.
Russia suspended flights to and from Egypt last fall after a Russian airliner crashed in the Sinai desert on October 31 while flying from the resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg killing all 224 people on board the plane.
Militants affiliated with the Daesh terror group, outlawed in Russia, claimed responsibility for what they said was a planted bomb attack.
