Here is an excerpt from the report:

Ahmed Abdel says – and this differs slightly from the numbers given by EgyptAir via Twitter earlier – there were 66 people on board:

  • 56 passengers
  • 3 security personnel
  • 2 cockpit crew
  • 5 cabin crew crew

There were “no recorded snags coming out of Cairo” or reported before leaving Charles de Gaulle for Cairo, he says.

The captain on flight has 6,000+ flying hours, including 2,000 on an A320.

Abdel says there was no special cargo on the flight and no notification had been made to the captain of dangerous goods on board.
