Egypt needs to do more to improve airport and aircraft security flights from Russia can resume, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told Sputnik. “We are working on it, there are constant intensive contacts between the Russian and the Egyptian sides, there is mutual understanding, we exchange visits regarding air travel issues, airport security, the safety of passengers and aircraft. This requires more contacts and efforts,” Bogdanov said. The Russian side wants to resume air travel “as soon as possible,” he added. TASS, however, is reporting that Russia’s Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said his ministry has not yet received a response to Russia’s complaints about security at Egyptian airports, which include “introducing requirements on ensuring aviation security at flights that go through the Russian Federation, as well as providing service to passengers, planes, cargoes and mail sent to the Russian Federation,” said Deputy Transportation Minister Valery Okulov.
