Primera of Scandanavia have now gone into administration leaving thousands stranded States side, Europe and Egypt. Many could see this one coming the way they've operated throughout the summer.

I believe they had flights from Scandanavia to Hurghada but don't know how many, if any, passengers are stranded here.
Not many I suspect, with a global passenger list of less than 5000.

Far more importantly, my local fish stall has 'gone to the wall after 25 years trading......
Ps: They tell me the cause was the price of ice this Summer....

Singapore Airlines are far from the wall, but no longer fly to Egypt, at least from Australia, nor do Qatar Air, leaving only 2 carriers with direct flights, as far as I know.

I have a pal Stuart & his missis from my canal days, who after 17 yrs working for B.W.B. is now on a 'slow cruise to China.
It's a container ship he posts regular bulletins on FB, they were in Suez last week
Their accomodation is stateroom size, plus there is a huge-safe room if they get attacked by pirates......
