EgyptAir says plane carrying 66 has disappeared from radar

None

CAIRO - An EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo carrying 66 people disappeared from radar early Thursday morning, the airline said.

 

The plane most likely crashed into the sea, Ihab Raslan, a spokesman for the Egyptian civil aviation authority, told SkyNews Arabia. He said the plane was about to enter Egyptian airspace when it disappeared from radar. The airline, however, said the Airbus A320 had vanished 10 miles (16 kilometers) after it entered Egyptian airspace.

  

Egyptian armed forces were searching for the plane, which was carrying 56 passengers, including one child and two babies, and 10 crew.
