Russia has announced that it will be flying more tourists home on Sunday, after 11,000 were airlifted home from Egypt in the past 24 hours.
After initially dismissing suspicions that a bomb brought down a Russian plane in Sinai, the government said on Friday that it was suspending all flights to Egypt.
Dozens of special flights were permitted for tourists wanting to go home.
A remembrance service has been held in St Petersburg for the 224 victims of the crash, most of whom are Russian.
The United Kingdom (UK) has flown 3,500 travellers out of Sharm El-Sheikh, from where Metrojet Flight 9268 took off for St Petersburg on October 31.
On Friday, European investigators, who analysed the two flight recorders from the Russian Metrojet plane that went down on October 31 in Egypt, categorically said that the crash was not an accident.
The investigators said the cockpit voice recorder showed an explosion and the flight data recorder confirmed that the explosion was not accidental — there is no sign of mechanical malfunction during the initial part of the flight, the CNN said, citing affiliate France 2 report.
Everything is fine during the first 24 minutes, then in a fraction of a second there is a blackout and no more cockpit conversation, convincing investigators there was a bomb on board, the investigators stated.
