British Airways abruptly suspended flights to Cairo over the weekend as a security precaution.

 

Egypt has expressed its disappointment after British Airways made a decision to suspend all flights to Cairo for a seven day period as a security precaution.

 

The airline has refused to give a specific reason for the suspension.

 

When asked for more details, a spokeswoman responded: “We never discuss matters of security.”

 

On Saturday, the British government issued a travel warning for Egypt citing a “heightened risk of terrorism against aviation.”

 

According to reports, British Airways staff had been checking security at Cairo airport on Wednesday and Thursday.

 

Some Egyptian officials claimed that the reasoning behind the suspension is political.
