EgyptAir will operate three weekly flights from Cairo to Moscow, starting from Thursday September 17.
In accordance with Russia’s coronavirus precautions, all passengers are required to present a negative PCR test result issued 72 hours before arrival in Moscow.
Egypt began a gradual resumption of regular international flights on July 1, having closed its airspace in March.
It also requires travellers arriving at its airports to show a negative PCR lab test result certificate. However, travellers entering Egypt at any of four airports in Red Sea and South Sinai governorates can take a test upon arrival.
