Correct Norodnik.
And I am still amazed to see the lack of scruple of the Tour Operators, who despite the reserves from an Official Administration (Swiss FOCA) still put the safety of their clients in danger.
Yet, the complicated task in this business is to find the guilty - is it the French Tour Op, or the corresponding Op in Egypt?
I have the impression that too often Tour Ops don't care how you reach your destination. Proof is, in the lower-end "last minute" packages you often don't even know the name of the carrier when you buy it.
Last time I went to Sharm-el-Sheikh, we were expecting an Egyptair aircraft, and finally got to fly with an old "Air Luxor" 737 - without any painting - (apparently at that time an Egyptian Carrier, not the Portuguese one)
