Two Russians have gone missing in Egypt. Vladislav Revenko and Nikita Talanov flew from Yekaterinburg to Sharm el-Sheikh on January 21 and were supposed to return after six days, but never boarded the plane.
«Vladislav Revenko and Nikita Talanov stopped making contact on January 26. My son was last online in the city of 6 October (a city 20 kilometers southwest of Cairo. — Ed.)», RIA Novosti writes citing Pavel Revenko — the father of one of the missing.
From Sharm el-Sheikh, the young men took a bus to Cairo, after which Vladislav wrote to his father that he had checked into a hotel and everything was fine. Now, there is no contact with the tourists.
The man noted that he has already received a response from Red Sea Airlines that both young men did not fly on the scheduled flight.
Today, another incident occurred — an Azur Air aircraft sent a distress signal in the sky over Vietnam. Fortunately, everything turned out fine. As the airline reported, the plane safely made an unscheduled landing.
