British Airways said Thursday (July 25th) it would resume flights to Cairo following a week's suspension, having reviewed its security measures, AFP reported.
BA flights to and from the Egyptian capital were set to start again on Friday, it said.
The flag carrier suspended flights on Saturday as a precautionary measure.
"Following a thorough assessment of the security arrangements, we are pleased that our service to and from Cairo will resume from Friday," BA said.
German carrier Lufthansa also said it was suspending flights to Cairo from Munich and Frankfurt just for last Saturday.
The airlines, two of the biggest in Europe, gave little explanation as to what triggered the moves.
In its travel advice for British nationals heading to Egypt, the Foreign Office in London warns: "There is a heightened risk of terrorism against aviation.
"Additional security measures are in place for flights departing from Egypt to the UK. You should co-operate fully with security officials at airports."
