Lift the UK Travel Advisory on Direct Flights to Sharm-El-Sheikh

Closed 903 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK is one of the only European nations refusing to lift its advisory against 'all but essential air travel to and from Sharm-El-Sheikh'. DIVE Magazine is calling for the restrictions placed on one of the UK's best-loved destinations, especially by divers, to be immediately rescinded.

Prior to the Russian airline disaster of 2015, UK tourists constituted the second-highest percentage of visitors to Sharm. Loss of the UK market had a devastating impact on Egyptian workers, local businesses, and UK tour operators - and continues to do so. Over £20million has been invested in updated airport security. The resort itself is deemed to be safe. Almost every other European nation is flying. It's been more than 3 years. It's time to lift the 'ban'
