Lift the UK Travel Advisory on Direct Flights to Sharm-El-Sheikh

Prior to the Russian airline disaster of 2015, UK tourists constituted the second-highest percentage of visitors to Sharm. Loss of the UK market had a devastating impact on Egyptian workers, local businesses, and UK tour operators - and continues to do so. Over £20million has been invested in updated airport security. The resort itself is deemed to be safe. Almost every other European nation is flying. It's been more than 3 years. It's time to lift the 'ban'
