all British travel operators have suspended flights
Travel firms Thomson
and Thomas Cook have extended a suspension of flights to the Egyptian holiday
resort of Sharm el-Sheikh until at least 23 March.
The UK government
suspended flights to the Red Sea resort in November after the suspected bombing
of a Russian passenger jet killed 224 people.
So-called Islamic State
militants claimed responsibility for the attack.
Over 16,000 Britons stranded
in the area were brought home on a series of rescue flights amid increased
security.
No flights have operated between the UK and Sharm el-Sheikh
since 17 November, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all
but essential travel using the resort's airport.
British Airways has said it
will not operate flights to the Egyptian resort until after 13 February at the
earliest, while Monarch services are currently suspended up to 24
January.
EasyJet has stopped services until 29 February, while Thomson
and Thomas Cook this week both extended their suspension of services until 23
March.
