“No,” a press officer answered when asked if the company plans to conduct an early inspection of its Airbus planes, or of the A-321 model in particular.
On Saturday, an Airbus A-321, operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia, crashed in the Sinai Peninsula en route from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh to St. Petersburg. All 224 people on board, including 25 children, have been confirmed dead by Russian and Egyptian authorities.
On Saturday, EasyJet and British Airways said they were not planning to alter their flights to and from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh. At the same time, Emirates, Air France and Lufthansa have stopped flying over the Sinai Peninsula since the tragedy.
A Swiss International Airlines spokesperson also told Sputnik that the carrier has rerouted its flights to avoid flying over North Sinai since at least June 2015, as it considers the area to be unsafe.
