"Many Photos" - British Airways cancels all flights to Cairo for a WEEK as a 'precaution'

British Airways has suspended all flights to Cairo for seven days as a security precaution.

The airline announced on Saturday evening that all flights into the Egyptian capital were halted.

A statement said: 'We constantly review our security arrangements at all our airports around the world, and have suspended flights to Cairo for seven days as a precaution to allow for further assessment.

The Foreign Office told MailOnline they are currently updating their travel advice for British Citizens planning to visit Egypt following British Airways' announcement 

'The safety and security of our customers and crew is always our priority, and we would never operate an aircraft unless it was safe to do so.'

Some affected passengers used social media to share pictures which appeared to show a letter handed out by British Airways with a similar message about security.

A spokeswoman for the airline said it could not immediately offer more information about the suspensions.

Three Egyptian airport security sources told Reuters that British staff were checking security at Cairo airport on Wednesday and Thursday. They provided no further details.

The British Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel by air to and from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, but has not issued similar warnings against air travel to and from Cairo.

The Egypt State Information Service could not immediately be reached for comment. 

A Government spokesperson said: 'We are aware that British Airways is notifying passengers that it has decided to suspend flights to Cairo temporarily.' 

Passengers due to fly to Cairo are advised to call BA on 0844 493 0787.
