As unrest continues in Egypt, flights to the country are arriving nearly empty and passenger traffic has fallen by half. Arrivals to the Red Sea resorts of Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada have experienced a sharp decline. Aircraft that can carry more than 100 are arriving from Europe with fewer than 10 passengers and returning full from resorts.
