Chaos as tourists try to leave Egyptian resort

There was widespread confusion in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Friday after authorities cancelled a number of flights out of the local airport, leaving stranded passengers frustrated as they wait for so-called “rescue” flights to bring thousands of tourists out of the area.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the suspension of his country’s flights to the region until the cause of last weekend’s crash is established. Separately, Turkish Airlines cancelled all flights to the area for Friday and Saturday.
