The Ministry of Civil Aviation revealed that Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport will receive the first British flights next December, as a British airline begins operating its first flights from the capital, London, to Sharm El-Sheikh, carrying 168 passengers.
Operations are scheduled to continue at a rate of one flight per week until March 2020, coinciding with the growing tourist traffic that Sharm El-Sheikh is witnessing during the current winter season.
It is worth noting that the British government decided on October 22 of this month to lift the travel ban to Sharm El-Sheikh, which had been in place for 4 years, and informed British airlines wishing to resume direct flights to Sharm El-Sheikh. The announcement came after close cooperation between aviation security experts in the United Kingdom and Egypt.
In a related context, Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport obtained the renewal of its international ISO certificate (ISO 9001:2015), accredited by the international standards body through the certifying company SGS, which specializes in applying the standards of safety and total quality systems. The certificate is a measure for the actual evaluation of performance and the application of the foundations and principles of total quality. This comes in light of the Ministry of Civil Aviation's keenness to apply the highest systems and standards of total quality, adhere to international quality principles and standards at all Egyptian airports, and upgrade all services provided to customers and travelers, in order to support and increase the number of tourists, especially to tourist attraction cities.
