EgyptAir
flight MS-804 from Paris to Cairo disappears from radar
An EgyptAir flight traveling to
Cairo from Paris disappeared from radar with 66 passengers and crew members on
board, the airline confirmed Thursday morning.
Ihab Raslan, a spokesman for the
Egyptian civil aviation agency, told SkyNews Arabia that the Airbus A320 had
likely crashed into the Mediterranean Sea.
Egyptian armed forces were searching for the
plane, which was carrying 56 passengers, including one child and two babies,
and 10 crew. The pilot had 6,275 flight hours, while the co-pilot had 2,766 flight
hours. Earlier, the airline said 69 people were on board.
EgyptAir said on Twitter that the flight was at its cruising altitude of 37,000 feet when it disappeared at 2:45 a.m. Cairo time (8:45 p.m. EDT). The airline said the plane was approximately 10 miles inside Egyptian airspace.
The tracking website FlightAware showed the plane following its scheduled flight path before losing contact over the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The aircraft had taken off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris at 11:09 p.m. Central European time (5:09 p.m. EDT) and was due to arrive in Cairo at 3:05 a.m. local time (9:05 p.m. EDT).

The Paris airport authority and the French civil
aviation authority had no immediate comment. A French airport official
contacted by Reuters said of the plane, "It did not land. That is all we
can say for the moment."
The incident renewed security concerns months after a Russian passenger plane was blown out of the sky over the Sinai Peninsula. The Russian plane crashed in Sinai on Oct. 31, killing all 224 people on board. Moscow said it was brought down by an explosive device, and a local branch of the extremist Islamic State group (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for planting it.
In 1999, EgyptAir Flight 1990 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near the Massachusetts island of Nantucket, killing all 217 people aboard, U.S. investigators filed a final report that concluded its co-pilot switched off the autopilot and pointed the Boeing 767 downward. But Egyptian officials rejected the notion of suicide altogether, insisting some mechanical reason caused the crash.
In March, an EgyptAir plane was hijacked and diverted to Cyprus. A man who admitted to the hijacking and was described by Cypriot authorities as "psychologically unstable" is in custody.

Aviation Industry General Knowledge
Aviation is a term that includes all the activities involved in building and flying aircraft, including aeroplanes, airships, balloons, helicopters, and gliders. These craft, especially aeroplanes, affect the lives of people almost everywhere in the world. Giant airliners carry passengers and cargo between the world's major cities in a matter of hours. Planes and helicopters rush medicine and other supplies to the farthest islands and deepest jungles. Farmers use aeroplanes to seed fields, count livestock, and spray crops. Aviation has also changed the way nations make war. Modern warfare depends on the instant striking power of jet fighters and bombers and the rapid supply capabilities of jet transports. Helicopters and other special aircraft have also been important in military aviation over the last 40 years.
Thousands of aeroplanes are used throughout the world. They range from small planes with room for only a pilot to enormous jumbo jets, which can carry hundreds of passengers. To produce and operate all these aeroplanes requires the skills of hundreds of thousands of workers—from the engineers who design the planes to the mechanics and pilots who service and fly them. Many government agencies also work to make flying safer and more dependable. All these activities make up the aviation industry.
The aviation industry's two major branches are the manufacture of aircraft and aircraft components, such as engines, and the operation of these aircraft, for example by airlines. The manufacture of aircraft, together with the manufacture of spacecraft, missiles, and related electronic equipment, is often called the aerospace industry...read more>>
