It is for each country to determine the security requirements they need to protect civil aviation from terrorist attack.

The UK Government continues to work closely with its Egyptian counterparts, sharing our expertise in establishing effective security arrangements at all Egyptian airports including Sharm el-Sheikh. However, it is long standing government policy not to comment in detail on security matters.
