Some flights cancelled to Egypt, others half-empty

Security and safety are the two most important keywords relevant to the above situation.
It is fairly justified to say that Egypt as a touristic destination is a fact belongs to pre- January 2011.
Who would be interested to visit an almost lawless country where thugs have the upper word and the security forces lack the necessary plans and skills required to tackle the deteriorated level of discipline?
Having said so, it is natural for the incoming traffic to decrease like that. However, the outgoing traffic may be better because of more Egyptians and foreigners leaving the country for better place away from Egypt.

Egypt's Air Memphis resumes MD83 ops as doubts arise over Iran flights

The code E9 of Air Memphis is highly questionable.
Air Memphis has been resurrected for merely one reason which is taking care of air passengers between Egypt and Iran. Ultra-orthodox Islamic Egyptians were totally against the idea of receiving Iranian tourists in Egypt and against the fledgling air connection of Tehran-Egypt.
Putting politics aside, the disapproval of the Iranian regime is irrelevant if operating that air link is feasible enough.

Aeroflot sees common problems for airline alliances

Seemingly, Aeroflot is holding something for the SkyTeam.
Aeroflot is applying the tactic of splitting the board of directors into two groups for maximizing the exposure of their semi-hidden, semi-declared agenda. The first group to release some news while the second to deny it. Kommersant relayed what the first group has said about SkyTeam. Mr. Vitaly Savelyev was representing the role planned for the second team. He used the media exposure already available to cover the sponsorship agreement of Aeroflot to Manchester United to dilute what has been leaked by the first team.

The irrelevance and weakness of those reasons mentioned by Mr. Vitaly Savelyev about SkyTeam are just another proof about the seriousness of Aeroflot’s intentions toward SkyTeam.
