Monarch and Tui UK have both extended their cancellation of flights and holidays to Sharm el Sheikh as the UK government continues to advise against all but essential travel to the destination by air.
Monarch has cancelled its programme until October 30 but said that it would like to resume flights when the effective ban is lifted.
The company has added extra flights to the Canary Islands, the Algarve, Palma, Malaga and is offering a variety of rebooking options.
Thomson and First Choice are cancelling flights and holidays until September 30.
Two Thomson Airways flights have been retained in the schedule to enable the business to operate to Sharm el Sheikh should the FCO travel advice change.
These are:
TOM396/7 from London Gatwick to Sharm el-Sheikh from May 26-October 27, at 13.50
TOM572/3 from Manchester to Sharm el Sheikh from May 26 – October 27 at 14.25
Rival Cook has already cancelled all bookings to the Red Sea resort and will not resume operations until November 1 at the earliest.
The FCO’s decision to effectively put a halt on flights came after the suspected bombing of a Russia charter flight, which killed 224 people.
