World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Egyptian government is facing a gathering storm following Britain's decision to suspend flights to and from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Other countries have since followed suit after a Russian airliner crashed shortly after take-off from Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board. Britain believes it is a "significant possibility" that a bomb brought the plane down. We talked to Philip Baum who advises the aviation industry on security issues.
