Travel agent Thomas Cook will no longer offer holiday packages to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt due to ongoing terrorism concerns




Thomas Cook has removed all holiday packages to the Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh from its 2017/18 schedule, citing ongoing terrorism concerns.

Any customers who may have already booked holidays there will be offered a full refund, or alternative holiday plans.

The company released a statement saying “We have removed Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt from our Winter 2017/18 and Summer 2018 holiday and flight programmes,”

“The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office continue to advise against travel to Sharm El Sheikh airport, and we have no plans to reintroduce a programme to Sharm until after that advice changes.”
