Scots holidaymakers stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh will start flying home on Friday evening.
Several hundred people from Scotland were thought to be stuck in the Egyptian resort after flights were suspended over a reported terrorist plot.
Airlines are today resuming services from the area – amid tightened security and a ban on carrying hold luggage – to bring those Britons affected back to the UK.
Holiday firm Thomson Airways has one flight due to depart Sharm el-Sheikh for Glasgow Airport later on Friday.
The service, scheduled to leave at 5.50pm local time, is expected to arrive in Scotland at 10.15pm.
A spokeswoman for Thomson Airways said the flights will operate “under special security measures mandated by the UK Government”.
She said: “Customers will not be able to bring any hold luggage with them on these flights. Only hand luggage can be brought on board and normal Thomson cabin baggage restrictions apply. All hold luggage will be returned to customers under separate secure cover arranged by the UK Government.”
EasyJet, British Airways, Thomas Cook and Monarch are also operating flights back to the UK today, including a number of “rescue flights”. None of those services are due to return to Scotland.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has said that most of the stranded British holidaymakers who had been due to return to the UK by today will be home by the end of the day.
The UK Government suspended air links on Wednesday after a Russian plane crashed last weekend, killing 224 people.
It has been reported that British spies uncovered an Islamic State (IS) bomb plot in the region following the tragedy.
Prime Minister David Cameron said it was “more likely than not” the Russian aircraft was brought down in a terrorist attack.
The Government gave approval for flights to resume after a day of intense negotiations with Egyptian leaders and the airlines.
Mr McLoughlin told ITV1’s Good Morning Britain the airlines have been “incredibly co-operative” in the effort to bring people back home.
“I think most of the people who were expecting to be home by tonight will be home by tonight,” he said
