Apparently Thomas Cook, Thomson and Monarch have all suspended flights to Sharm up to and including 25th November, EasyJet still to confirm it's plans. 

Not too sure I'd make plans with any of them for now!  :o

Corruption sure is the major problem, but sadly many other countries have corruption also

The only way I can see of making Egyptian Airports safe would be Airlines and Holiday companies using their own staff to man the Airports but I can't see Egypt allowing that.

So, you think that, because the airlines and holiday companies in the UK employ their own staff there aren't any security breaches at UK airports ?

True.

And how about security breaches in Turkey? A security staff member of Dalaman airport recently went to Syria to join IS. She got arrested in April because she had mentioned that she was going to blow herself up in the airport.
Don't want to think about what could have happened if she hadn't spoken about it.

My friends are booked for Sharm at Christmas with Thomson. They can't get an answer if there's a likelihood of the holiday going ahead.

British aviation experts looked at security at Sharm el-Sheikh just weeks before the alleged bombing of a Russian airliner but did not raise concerns about safety, a senior Egyptian official told The Telegraph
