An EgyptAir plane which had gone missing with66 people on board probably crashed into the sea, officials from Egypt's national airline said today.
The Airbus A320 aircraft flying from Paris to Cairo had disappeared from radar over the Mediterranean Sea, EgyptAir had said earlier.
"The search and rescue aircraft from the Egyptian air force are at the position where we lost contact. They are still looking and so far there is nothing found," EgyptAir vice chairman Ahmed Adel told Reuters.
Greece said it had deployed aircraft and a frigate to the area to help with the search. A Greek defense ministry source said authorities were also investigating an account from the Captain of a merchant ship who reported seeing a "flame in the sky" 130 nautical miles south of the island of Karpathos.
