The joint convention of the two players make a team against the arrival of low-cost carrier easyJet.com to Sharm el Sheikh. Swantour chairman, Georges Adly Zaki: "We have presented the problem to the Egypt Minister of Tourism." The Blue Panorama #1 men Franco Pecci, open to possible future scenarios: "We also provide the operating weekly with Blu-Express"

"Where easyJet positions itself hurts - that the impact comment left by Blue Panorama chairman, Franco Pecci -. In the future we may also think of imagining to fly two or three flights a week with our low cost arm Blu-Express.com programming weekly departures but always in cooperation with tour operators, thereby giving more flexibility to the passenger who will stay three or four nights. One thing is certain: we will do our best to counter this new onslaught of easyJet. "

In the long run, though - admits the number one tour operator - could create some problems for operators. "
