Budget airline easyJet has cancelled flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh until the New Year after the bombing of a Russian jet
The low-cost carrier confirmed the continued suspension of flights to the popular Egyptian resort has been extended until January 6 in a move designed to "provide certainty" for customers planning holidays over Christmas.
The firm said customers with pre-bought plane tickets could receive a full refund, fly to another destination or select a voucher for use on future flights.
In a statement said: “You will be aware that over the last few weeks, there have been significant issues associated with flying to and from Sharm el-Sheikh.
"To help provide some certainty for our customers' travel arrangements over the Christmas period, we can now confirm we will be cancelling all flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh January 6, 2016.
"Customers on affected flights will have three options: To fly to another destination within the easyJet network, receive a full refund of the flights booked with us, arrange a flight voucher with us that can be used for future flights."
Any customers in Sharm el-Sheikh hoping to fly back to Britain should contact easyJet’s customer service team.
The statement said: "We are sorry for the inconvenience this will obviously cause, but we hope that being clear with all our customers at this point helps you to manage your plans with more certainty.
"The situation is beyond our control and passenger safety will always be our number one priority."
The Government suspended flights to Sharm on November 4 after an Airbus 321 operated by Russian airline Metrojet crashed, killing 224 people.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombing of the passenger jet.
