(MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) Russian transport minister Maxim Sokolov announced on Wednesday that the ministry is planning to soon send a new delegation of inspectors to investigate security measures at Egyptian airports. The minister explained that the aim of the delegation is to work on the resumption of Russian flights to Sharm El-Sheikh. Russia and other countries have suspended their flights to Sharm El-Sheikh following the Russian aeroplane crash in Sinai on 31 October, which left all 224 passengers and crew members dead, shortly after it took off from Sharm El-Sheikh airport. During the phone call, Shoukry reerred to the results of a British delegation's recent inspections of Egyptian airports, assuring that Egypt is keen on implementing the delegation's recommendations. President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi and British prime minister Theresa May will also attend the UNGA.
