Reading the bbc site, the Egyptians have stopped all uk airlines flying to sharm to pick up holiday makers.

This is going to get nasty

Indeed it seems a bit of tit for tat as we have had to give them guidance on how to do airport security correctly

Just far enough away from LDC
Once again a world leader who has been wined and dined by our prime minister then decides to teach the old colonialists a thing or two.

It's like dealing with fifa

Incorrect, 8 today, airport can't take any more apparently

Egypt is restricting the number of rescue flights for Britons stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh, Easyjet has said.
It said eight of its planes were not being allowed to land at the airport, but the first of two flights had left.
Flights from other airlines are scheduled to depart for the UK later.
Holidaymakers were left stuck after the UK government cancelled flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh on Wednesday amid fears a Russian passenger plane was brought down by a terrorist bomb.
The first Easyjet flight left shortly before 13:00 local time for Gatwick, with the second, for Luton, due to leave shortly.
About 20 UK-bound flights had been expected to take off. Monarch, Thomson, Thomas Cook and British Airways are also due to take some of the estimated 19,000 British nationals on holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh home.
Monarch said five of its planes are currently in the air on the way to pick up Britons as scheduled, while BA said it did not expect its aircraft to be refused landing permission in Egypt.
