West Country tourists stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh over bomb fears
The government has suspended flights between the UK and Sharm e-Sheikh. Hundreds of West Country tourists are trying to get home.
No flights from Bristol to Sharm el-Sheikh over bomb fears
Flights from the west country to Sharm el-Sheikh have been suspended indefinitely.
The government has announced that there will be no UK passenger flights to the Egyptian resort, amid fears that a Russian plane which crashed in Egypt last week was brought down by "an explosive device".
A Thomson flight was due to fly from Bristol Airport to Sharm el-Sheikh this morning - but the company has now cancelled all flights to the resort for a week.
On Facebook Nicci Hutchings from South Devon told ITV West Country: "My mum and dad were due to fly back on Sunday but looks like that may not be happening."
If you've been affected by the cancellation of flights please contact us by sending us a message to westcountry@itv.com
