The Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport received the first British Airways flight on Tuesday, after flights between Sharm el-Sheikh and Gatwick Airport were suspended following the January 25 revolution in 2011.
The resumption of flights between Gatwick Airport and Sharm el-Sheikh after a four-year suspension is a positive indicator for tourism in the city, media spokesperson for Sharm el-Sheikh governor, Abdel Fattah Helmy, said in a press statement on Tuesday.
British Airways is the largest airline in the UK.
