		</div><p>Lufthansa has resumed flights to Cairo after the German carrier joined British Airways in announcing a suspension.</p>
<p>Flights were cancelled on Saturday night, with the airlines issuing separate statements which cited security concerns.</p>
<p>BA said flights would be suspended for seven days while “further assessment” of security arrangements at Cairo airport took place.</p>
<p>Lufthansa said its own flights were suspended shortly after, citing “an unclear security situation”, but resumed service to the Egyptian capital on Sunday.</p>
<p>Passengers were informed on Twitter that services were resumed.</p>
<p>It remains unclear what prompted BA’s decision to halt flights.</p>
<p>BA said: <em>“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.</em></p>
<p><em>“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.”</em></p>
<p>Customers who still wished to travel were offered a refund or the opportunity to be rebooked onto flights with alternative airlines.</p>
<p>It is understood British Airways made the Department for Transport aware of its decision ahead of the announcement.</p>
<p>BA operates one flight per day from Heathrow to Cairo.</p>
<p>Current Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice on travel to Egypt warns against “all travel” to certain parts of the country.</p>
<p>But Cairo is part of a safer region, where the FCO only suggests reviewing its advice before visiting.</p>
<p>Current guidance also warns against “all but essential” travel by air to Sharm el Sheikh.</p>
<p>That advice followed the bombing of a Russian airline which was brought down in 2015 shortly after leaving the Red Sea resort, killing 224 people.</p>
