A British team of experts tasked with checking security measures at Cairo International Airport resumed its work on Tuesday under the supervision of Major General Hesham abdel Khaleq, general director of aviation security.
The committee is working according to a three-month plan for checking security measures relating to passengers, luggage and cargo boarding EgyptAir flights heading to London.
Informed sources at the airport said that the team is made up of five British experts in aviation security.
The experts focused on reviewing security measures applied to two British Airways flights bound for London's Heathrow Airport.
Egypt's airport security came under the spotlight after the suspected bombing of a Russian passenger jet in Sinai in October 2015, which killed all 224 people on board.
Following the crash, the British and Russian governments banned their airlines from flying to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh because of concerns about security at the local airport. In June, British Airways has extended its suspension of flights to Sharm al-Sheikh indefinitely.
