Egypt has received on Thursday two flights carrying on board 313 tourists from Switzerland and Belarus. This is the second day since Egypt has resumed international flights after more than three months of suspension as part of efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Hurghada Airport received a flight carrying on board 141 Swiss tourists while Sharm el-Sheikh Airport had another having 172 Belarusian tourists on board, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced in a statement.
Last week, Egypt decided to lift a partial nighttime curfew imposed over the past three months, under a coexistence plan to maintain anti-coronavirus precautionary measures while resuming economic activities.
Tourism sector is one of Egypt’s main sources of national income and foreign currency.
