CAIRO, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Egypt's flag carrier EgyptAir said on Tuesday it will resume its flights to the Russian capital of Moscow from April 15.
"EgyptAir will resume its direct flights between Cairo and Moscow, one daily, number MS729-MS730, on board of Airlines Boeing B737-800," EgyptAir said in a statement.
EgyptAir canceled last month all flights to Moscow due to problems with European flight insurance amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the European sanctions against Russia.
On Monday, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi signed a law that allows the finance minister to provide EgyptAir with an insurance guarantee that covers risks including wars or hijacking during flights to and from Russian airports. ■
