I really don't understand why people are having a go at Jet2 for cancelling the Sharm flights, this is a very sound commercial decision it's not about who will govern Egypt or whether people will go to there on holiday later in the year, it's about the political climate now. To schedule the whole season of flights would be a risk and successful business is all about risk assessment. They looked at the risks i.e. falling bookings, possible need to cancel and compensate later and/or repatriation and decided it wasn't worth it. They can now reallocate the aircraft to profitable routes for the whole summer season. Good decision, full stop.
