MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Thursday, the EgyptAir Airbus A320 plane, carrying a total of 66 people, disappeared from radar screens over the Mediterranean Sea, 10 miles into Egyptian airspace. The plane was headed from Paris to Cairo.

"I have requested from the French side all the recordings of conversations between the captain of the aircraft and air traffic controllers from the moment preparation for the flight began," Mukaddam told the Ahram newspaper.
