The decision by the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands to abruptly suspend flight to/from SSH cannot have been based just on 'chatter' evidence - there must have been something more specific, more substantial.

And now it appears that Egyptian authorities are preventing the arrival/departure of easyJet planes not already at SSH.

The BBC news just now reports easyJet saying all British airlines are being prevented from using SSH by the Egyptian authorities.

Is this some sort of Egyptian retaliation - preventing UK holiday makers from leaving?
