EVERETT, Wash. (Reuters) - An executive of state-owned EgyptAir said on Tuesday that British Airways' decision to suspend flights to Cairo, the Egyptian capital, for several days was "without a logical reason."

The vice chairman of EgyptAir Holding Co, Sherif Ezzat Badrous, told reporters at a ceremony marking the delivery of the carrier's newest Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner that Cairo airport is safe and EgyptAir [EGY.UL] continues to operate in a "very safe environment."
