    • Russia had suspended the service after its plane crashed in Egypt, killing all the 224 passengers on board

    • The plane had been taking Russian holiday makers home from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg in 2015

    Nearly six years after a Russian plane with 224 passengers on board crashed over the Sinai Peninsula, killing all on the plane, Russia will begin a service of charter flights to Egyptian resorts in the coming days.

    Russian charter flights to Egyptian resorts are expected to resume in the coming days after a years-long hiatus, the Interfax news agency cited the boss of Aeroflot as saying on Friday.

    Flights to resort destinations Sharm Al-Sheikh and Hurghada were suspended after a Russian passenger plane crashed in Sinai in October 2015, killing 224 people.

    The plane had been taking Russian holiday makers home from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg in 2015, when it broke up over the Sinai Peninsula, killing all on board. A group affiliated with Daesh militants claimed responsibility.
