Domestic carriers from the state budget transferred 1,5 billion rubles in support.

The funds are allotted for air carriers that until recently carried out passenger flights to Egypt, but subsequently ceased flights because of an interdiction due to the unexplained circumstances of the plane crash that took place in the Sinai Peninsula, and are currently exporting tourists from Egyptian resorts.

According to the information portal Avia.pro, in fact, the ban on flights will bring much greater losses to domestic airlines, while experts point out two main versions of the further development of the event - passenger traffic to Egypt will be resumed in the near future, or the ban on flights may be extended for several years.
