Germany has decided to resume air flights between its airports and the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, the Egyptian foreign ministry and German embassy confirmed, according to Ahram Online.


"Based on appropriate security measures on the part of the Egyptian safety and security aviation authorities, luggage will be immediately re-allowed to be carried when travelling from Sharm El-Sheikh airport to Germany," read a Wednesday statement by the German embassy in Cairo sent to Ahram Online by email.


The embassy said that special security technology will be implemented and trained personnel will be assigned for baggage handling at the passenger terminal at Sharm El-Sheikh airport in a bid to "minimise to the lowest possible level security risks of baggage delivery and transfer."
