Flights bringing tourists from Russia to Egypt's Red Sea resorts arrive Monday for the first time since the October 2015 jihadist bombing of a Russian airliner, officials said. Moscow barred direct flights to Egypt after the bombing of the passenger plane shortly after it took off from the popular resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 people on board. Monday morning's EgyptAir flight from the Russian capital brought 300 tourists to the resort town of Hurghada, an Egyptian civil aviation official said. A second flight later landed in Sharm el-Sheikh, where Russia's ambassador to Egypt and the provincial governor welcomed the passengers, an airport source said. IMAGES
