Sharm el Sheikh

I am living in Sharm el Sheikh.
Why are there no flights from the UK coming here?
Last week they were returning in January, now is 24 March.
I flew to Alexandria last week and was searched at least 4 times.
Flights are still coming from Ukraine and Zurich every day, but no other countries.
What is it the British Government want before they start flying here again?
Hotels are closing and shops are empty

Supply and demand.
Even if regular flights from the UK were to be re-instated I doubt many would use them.
I see you're retired and living in France,spending a few months of the year in Sharm - surely after the two most recent large-scale terrorist attacks involving those places you would have some idea by now ...0 -
Egypt plane crash: Airline extends suspension of Sharm el-Sheikh flights - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35173927

If flights are only coming from Zurich and Ukraine, you can't really blame the British Government ... rather every airline bar two seem to agree.
And seeing as everyone still flies into Cairo, it really does suggest systemic problems at Sharm rather than anything else.0 -

Have friends there at the moment. They're having a fantastic time and are talking about going back for Christmas again next year.
They went on 23rd, a direct flight from Gatwick.0 -

Who did your friends fly with please? I honestly believed there are no direct, non stop flights to Sharm from the UK at this time0 -
