11 Sharm-bound flights canceled due to bad weather

The flag carrier EgypAir cancelled Wednesday 11 flights were scheduled to leave to Sharm el Sheikh due to bad weather, said an official source.

A dust storm swept the country during the past two days forced the company to change a flight line to Luxor while Sharm el Sheikh-bound flights from Borg El Arab Airport have been canceled, the source said.

An operation room at EgyptAir is following up the weather status around the hour for possible changes in the scheduled flights.

Passengers will not be asked to pay for changes of the flight time table, noted the source.
