Thomson Airways has extended its cancellation of all flights to Sharm el-Sheikh until at least March 2016, suggesting British holidaymakers will not return to the Egyptian resort for several months.
The UK government suspended flights to Sharm on 4 November after an Airbus 321 operated by Russian airline Metrojet crashed, killing 224 people. Islamic State jihadis claimed responsibility for bombing the jet.
More than 16,000 Britons stranded in the area were brought home on a series of rescue flights amid heightened security.
No flights have operated between the UK and Sharm since 17 November because the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is advising against all but essential travel using the Red Sea resort’s airport.
