EgyptAir Flight MS804 From Paris to Cairo Vanishes Over The Med With 66 on Board - Egypt Report Seeing 'Flame In The Sky'

EgyptAir flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo goes missing

The Airbus A320 (pictured centre on previous flight) left the French capital's Charles De Gaulle Airport at 11:09pm local time on Wednesday night and then went missing, three hours and 40 minutes into its journey. The plane vanished 10 miles into Egyptian airspace over the Mediterranean Sea, 20 minutes before it was due to land. It was supposed touch down at 3:05am local time. 


There were 56 passengers, including two infants and a child, and 10 crew on the flight. Reports suggested that among the nationalities were 30 Egyptians, 15 French, two Iraqis and one each from Britain, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Chad, Portugal, Algeria and Canada. The airline said the aircraft was 'fading' when air traffic control lost contact with the plane at 02:45 Cairo time as it flew at 37,000ft. Egyptian officials have sent out search and rescue teams and have alerted surrounding countries. Pictured right are police at Terminal 1 at Charles de Gaulle airport this morning.
