British Airways' decision is a blow to Egypt’s tourism industry, which had been recovering after a wave of deadly attacks in recent years
The airline’s decision is a blow to Egypt’s tourism industry which had been recovering after a wave of deadly terrorist attacks in recent years.
“Additional security measures are in place for flights departing from Egypt to the U.K.,” said the travel advisory note issued on Saturday by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The travel advisory didn’t mention a specific threat. “International headlines stating that multiple international carriers have decided to suspend flights to Cairo will taint the view of potential tourists who will be left wondering what further security risks exist,” said Timothy Kaldas, a risk consultant and political analyst based in Cairo.
Tourist arrivals in Egypt climbed to more than 11 million in 2018, up from a low of just 5.4 million in 2016 in the aftermath of the Russian jet disaster.
