British Airways suspended flights to Cairo for seven days starting Saturday as a precaution to allow for an assessment of security there, the airline said in a statement.
“We constantly review our security arrangements at all our airports around the world, and have suspended flights to Cairo for seven days as a precaution to allow for further assessment,” the statement said.
A letter handed to passengers explained that the bold decision to cancel all flights to the Egyptian city was being made “as a precaution to allow for further assessment” following a review of “security arrangements”.
