CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s civil
aviation ministry said on Tuesday there were no facts to substantiate
assertions by Russian officials that the Russian airliner that crashed
in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Saturday broke up in mid-air.
But spokesman Mohamed Rahmi confirmed that no distress
call had been received before the crash, which left wreckage from the
Metrojet Airbus 321, carrying Russian holidaymakers back to St
Petersburg from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, strewn over more
than 3 km (2 miles) of desert.
“No communication from the pilot was recorded at the navigation centres requesting anything,” he told Reuters.
