UK-SSH flights

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how UK-Sharm El Sheikh flights are doing a month after the terrible events there?

A brief search shows that the vast majority of flights have been maintained (only a few cancellations in the immediate aftermath). Also the new winter 05/06 and summer 06 schedules published by tour operators shows siginificant increases in capacity to Sharm which seems like a positive sign.

In addition the Egyptian authorities have reduced airport fees at Sharm El Sheikh Ophira Airport by 50% to attract airlines. Egyptair and Astraeus have maintained their LHR/LGW/MAN-SSH scheduled flights and GB Airways's plans for LGW-SSH flight seem unaffected (3 weekly A320 flights from 22/10/05).

Any feedback would be appreciated.
