Russians banned from taking luggage from Egypt

The Russians, who are to be evacuated from Egypt, will be allowed to carry on the plane only hand luggage of 10 kilograms. Baggage will be transported separately for security purposes, Dmitry Gorin, vice-president of the Turpomosch association, said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel.

Dvorkovich: authorities organize flights to take Russians out of Egypt

The return of Russian tourists from Egypt will be carried out, if possible, by the same planes, flights that were planned, the Deputy Prime Minister said.

The return of tourists from Egypt will be carried out on the same flights that were planned; planes from the Russian Federation will fly to Egypt empty, while luggage will be delivered by separate aircraft as soon as possible, said Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich.

The Federal Air Transport Agency previously reported that Russians from Egypt will be taken out of regular and irregular flights, and planes from Moscow will leave empty for this - tourists in Russia itself were therefore asked not to come to airports. The head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry, Vladimir Puchkov, said that his department was ready to take Russians out of Egypt with its own aircraft.

"As for the return of tourists from Egypt, this will be done to the maximum extent by the same planes, flights that were planned. They will arrive in Egypt without passengers and transport to Russia those tourists who have tickets for the corresponding flights," he said. Dvorkovich told reporters following the results of the first meeting of the operational headquarters on issues related to the temporary suspension of air traffic.

According to him, the luggage will be delivered separately as soon as possible. "For baggage delivery, separate flights will be organized at a certain time interval, the minimum possible, so that people receive their baggage as soon as possible," the Deputy Prime Minister said, noting that separate flights are organized to ensure the safety of citizens.

According to Dvorkovich, in the next few hours, "before the first flights, which will be very soon," all the nuances associated with baggage registration and control over the passage of passengers on planes will be determined. "This order will start working this weekend. I hope that there will be no disruptions," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dvorkovich urged Russians who had planned trips to Egypt in the coming days not to come to airports. “We urge everyone today to change their plans for the coming weeks, not to come to airports,” he said.

In the coming hours, the necessary information will be given on the order in which it is necessary to work with tour operators and other organizations to resolve relevant financial and other issues. "These topics are now being actively worked out," Dvorkovich said.

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin agreed with the recommendations to suspend flights with Egypt pending clarification of the reasons for the crash of the A321. The head of state also instructed to provide assistance to Russian citizens in their return from Egypt.

Russia will demand from France and Egypt to confirm the explosion on board AZ21

The Russian side has no confirmation of the fact of the explosion on board the Russian A321 aircraft of the Kogalymavia airline, which crashed on the Sinai Peninsula. Experts will demand confirmation of these data from French investigators and the Egyptian commission, a source in the Russian office at the commission to investigate the catastrophe in Egypt told Interfax and RIA Novosti. Thus, the interlocutor of the agency commented on the data of the France2 TV channel, which on Friday, November 6, reported that the plane's voice recorder recorded the sound of an explosion on board.

“Russian experts will demand that the French investigators and the Egyptian commission confirm the identification of the explosion on board the aircraft,” a representative of the Russian side said. He emphasized that “at the moment we can only talk about the presence of indefinite sounds recorded on a speech recorder.

An A321 flight recorder indicates that an explosion occurred on board the Kogalymavia aircraft and was not related to engine failure, an investigator who has access to the investigation told France2. A previously informed source in Cairo told Interfax that “sounds uncharacteristic for a regular flight” were heard on the recording of the “black box” before the disappearance of the plane from the radars.

The version about the involvement of terrorists in the crash of the A321 "Kogalymavia" in recent days has been repeatedly expressed by Western politicians and the media. US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke about this, in particular. After the plane crash, the UK, the Netherlands, Ireland and Ukraine, as well as a number of airlines, stopped flying to Sinai.

The Islamic State terrorist group (banned in Russia) twice claimed responsibility for the plane crash. Nevertheless, in Moscow, these statements were called untenable.

Russian Union of Travel Industry: tour operators will not be able to immediately refund money for tours to Egypt

Irina Tyurina, press secretary of the Russian Union of Travel Industry (PCT), said that tour operators will not be able to immediately pay money for all canceled tours to Egypt, since a refund to all tourists would automatically mean bankruptcy for tour operators.

A participant in the investigation of the crash of A321 confirmed the reports of the explosion

An unnamed source told French television that a flight recorder recorded the sound of an explosion on board.

The flight recorder of the Kogalymavia liner recorded the sound of the explosion, an unnamed participant in the investigation of the crash told French TV channel France 2 on Friday.

"The black boxes of the airliner recorded a clear sound of the explosion during the flight," the TV station reported.

For its part, the French magazine Le Point quotes on its website the words of one of the experts that the decoding of the airliner recorders has been completed.

According to him, according to the data obtained from the recorders, after the sound of the explosion was heard, the electricity on board the plane was cut off, due to which the recording was stopped.

The interlocutor of the journalists explained that, in his opinion, in this case there is no reason to consider the explosion that occurred as a consequence of technical problems, in particular, problems with the engines.

Earlier on Friday, the Russian newspaper Kommersant, citing its sources, reported that an event had occurred during the flight, after which the fixation of all parameters of the aircraft's systems, without exception, was interrupted at once.

The experts of the publication suggested that this could happen due to the explosive depressurization of the cabin, as a result of which its tail section was separated from the aircraft fuselage, in which the emergency parametric recorder was located.

On Friday, the Russian authorities decided to suspend flights to Egypt pending clarification of the reasons for the crash of the A321 and to evacuate all Russian tourists from this country.

After the plane crash, this 10-month-old girl became a symbol of the tragedy. Her body was found by rescuers 30-35 km from the main crash site.

Sources: A321 baggage bomb may have been planted before takeoff

British security officials say an explosive device may have been placed in the cargo hold of a Russian A321 passenger plane that crashed in the skies over the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, just before taking off from Sharm el Sheikh airport.

This was announced on Friday, November 6, by the BBC television and radio company, citing sources involved in the investigation of the plane crash of the Russian airliner.

It is clarified that an unknown person who has access to the luggage compartment of a Russian passenger plane could have placed an explosive device on top or inside the luggage just before the takeoff of the aircraft.

The British authorities are confident that there is a "serious likelihood" that an explosive device was the cause of the plane crash.

It is in this regard that the country's government has banned its airlines from operating flights to Sharm el-Sheikh and changed the recommendation regarding travel of its citizens to Egypt, recommending at the same time refraining from any travel to Sharm el-Sheikh.

Following Britain, a number of other European countries have cut off flights to this popular resort town in Egypt.
