  • Travel agency "Anex Tour" canceled flights to a popular resort from July 7 to October 27.
  • Travelers with existing bookings can change their destination or receive a refund.
  • Increased aviation fuel costs due to the Middle East conflict are cited as a reason for flight cancellations.

Travelers planning trips to Egypt have been met with unexpected news as "Anex Tour," a tour operator, canceled flights to a popular resort. The cancellations are scheduled to begin on July 7 and continue through October 27.

According to the head of the travel agency, "Anex Tour" cited "optimization" as the reason for the cancellations in a letter detailing adjustments to existing reservations. This decision impacts travelers who have already purchased trips to Egypt.

"Anex Tour," which launched its operations in Lithuania and the Baltic states in June 2023, offers flights to Turkey and Egypt. The company's management has informed affected travelers that they have the option to change their travel destination or request a full refund for their bookings.

Industry sources suggest that rising aviation fuel prices, exacerbated by the conflict in the Middle East, have led some airlines to cancel flights. Some tour operators in Lithuania have responded by introducing additional "fuel surcharges," with the amount varying based on the destination, distance, and other factors.
