Monarch is cancelling all flight and holiday bookings to Sharm el Sheikh for the foreseeable future.
It says with no indication from the UK Government as to when the airport will re-open to flights from the UK, it has no choice but to cancel all flight and holiday bookings for winter 2016/17.
In addition, there are now no plans for the destination to be part of Monarch’s summer 2017 programme.
Monarch Group chief executive Andrew Swaffield said: "Much hard work has been done by the UK and Egyptian Governments, along with the travel industry, to improve safety measures at Sharm El-Sheikh Airport and it is very disappointing that it remains closed (to UK visitors).
"If and when the airport does reopen then we will assess whether we start flights and holidays again."
Monarch customers who have existing flight and holiday bookings can re-book to an alternative Monarch destination, free of charge, or obtain a full refund.
Before the suspension of flights from the UK, roughly 700,000 Britons visited Sharm El-Sheikh every year.
