Egyptian Minister of Civil Aviation Sherif Fathy said on Thursday that EgyptAir flight MS804 was more likely missing due to a "terror attack" than to technical failure.
Speaking to the press from Cairo, Fathy also urged everyone involved to stick to the facts and avoid speculation on the causes behind the disappearance of the flight. Fathi, having had to cut his visit to Saudi Arabia short, returned to Cairo to address the incident.
EgyptAir Flight MS804 was expected to arrive in Cairo at 03:15 (01:15 GMT) on Thursday after taking off from the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris at 23:09 (21:09 GMT). The plane was carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew members on board, according to flight tracking services. The airline also said that the Airbus A320 lost contact at around 02:30 (00:30 GMT), 10 miles (16 km) inside Egyptian airspace and was last registered at an altitude of 37,000 feet (11,300 metres). An investigation is underway and rescue teams have been dispatched, according to the company's Twitter account.
