British Airways said Thursday it would resume flights to Cairo following a week's suspension, having reviewed its security measures. BA flights to and from the Egyptian capital will start again on Friday, it said in a statement. The flag carrier suspended flights on Saturday as a precautionary measure. "Following a thorough assessment of the security arrangements, we are pleased that our service to and from Cairo will resume from Friday," BA said.
"The safety and security of our customers and crew is always our priority, and we would never operate an aircraft unless it was safe to do so." German carrier Lufthansa also said it was suspending flights to Cairo from Munich and Frankfurt just for last Saturday.
