11,000 Russian travellers fly home from Egypt: deputy PM
Moscow, Russia Some 11,000 Russian tourists have returned home from Egypt in the past 24 hours after Moscow suspended flights to the country over the Sinai plane crash, an official said Sunday.
“Over the past 24 hours some 11,000 people have been flown out,” deputy prime minister Arkady Dvorkovich told reporters, adding that more people were set to return home later in the day. “Today is the busiest day in this sense,” he said at the Vnukovo airport outside Moscow.
