Sharm will take some time before it recovers (anaylsts and the WTO predict another 3-4 months) but bookings to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Marsa Alam are as normal.

I see your point but why have tour operators increased flights/capacity to Sharm (lets forget the rest of Egypt for a now)?

Sharm authorites have said that the number of Italian, East European, Russian and British tourist numbers to Sharm are recoving faster than expected.

The number of Germans is expected to almost double

Here is a list of some of the new routes Thomson are starting this summer:

- Manchester-Marsa Alam
- Stansted-Sharm El Sheikh
- Luton-Hurghada
- Birmingham-Marsa Alam
- Birmingham-Taba
- Doncaster-Sharm El Sheikh
