(supersedes previous)(ANSA) - London, November 5 - British budget airline EasyJet said Thursday it will resume flights from Sharm el-Sheikh on Friday in order to bring back passengers who got stranded in the Egyptian resort after flights there and back were suspended on government orders.
    There will be a total of 10 flights tomorrow, including one to Milan's Malpensa airport bringing back 180 passengers who were supposed to fly home tonight, British media reported.
    Easyjet earlier cancelled its scheduled flights from Milan Malpensa to Sharm El Sheikh on Egypt's Sinai peninsula following Saturday's Russian plane crash in which 224 people were killed. The decision came after the British and Irish governments ordered the suspension of all flights to and from the Red Sea holiday resort amid conjecture that the plane might have been brought down by a bomb smuggled on board in hand luggage at Sharm El Sheikh airport.
