The Hurghada International Airport on Wednesday will receive a Russian security delegation to inspect the airport’s security measures, check on all security measures followed inside the travel and arrival halls, and follow up on procedures for securing luggage and travelers. Navigation sources at the airport on Friday said that the delegation will also check on the deployment of security personnel in their locations, as well as the precautionary measures followed by aviation authorities to protect travelers against COVID-19. The Russian inspection also includes meals from the moment they are produced until they arrive on the planes, alongside monitoring the airport walls, surveillance cameras, and runway security systems. It also includes checking on the groups of workers assigned to service inside the customs offices and inside the aircraft. The primary reason for suspending flights with Egypt was the Russian plane disaster in October 2015, he added.
