British Airways has cancelled all flights to the Egyptian capital Cairo for a week as a security "precaution".
Passengers about to board a BA flight to the city from London's Heathrow Airport were told that it was cancelled - and that there would be no alternative flights for a week.
The airline did not specify what the security issue was.

“The airline did not specify what the security issue was.”
Starts with “m” and ends with “uslims”

"The airline did not specify what the security issue was." But everyone knows what the problem is:
murderous Arab/Muslim supremacists.

Probably Sadiq Khan tried to board with his wired bomb vest while saying “Islamic terrorism is just part and parcel of flying commercial!”.

With Iran seizing two freighters, think they anticipate the SHTF.

Bet they found (an) Iranian agent(s) about to board the flight from inside the U.K.
Or Cat Stevens...oh, same difference

Well, since they’re hijacking tankers, the next logical step would be to hijack planes.

El-Sisi and Egypt are allies of the UK against Iran. What are they afraid of? Both can't assure safe flights?
Sounds wimpy to me.
To: BenLurkin
Starts with “m” and ends with “uslims” I was thinking it starts with "I" and ends with "n."
Methinks retribution for Iran seizing a British ship is coming quickly and this is a "precaution" to keep British citizens seeking to travel to Egypt from being endangered by the growing mooslimb radicals.

It's not about safe flights. It's about protecting British citizens once they're on the ground in Egypt.
Egyptian government can't do that with the growing radical muslim elements in-country. Any British or Western citizen is in danger in Egypt once retribution against Iran happens. Based on the stopping of flights to Egypt, I'm guessing that's happening sooner than we think.

I wonder if they’ve canceled flights coming back from Egypt.

Wasn't there an American news reporter that was raped in daylight in clear site of hundreds of Egyptian Mooselimbs the last time the Mooselimbs lost their decorum in Cairo? That alone should put the place off limits to Anglo Saxons.
To: BenLurkin
No, Egypt is one of the good guys
The enemy and terrorist is Iran hiding behind skirts of surrogates.
As always Iran plinks at the margin
