埃及航空巴黎飛往開羅班機失蹤大綱

Greek and Egyptian crews are searching for a missing Egypt Air flight that disappeared Thursday en route to Cairo from Paris with 66 passengers and crew on board.

The carrier said that it lost contact with Flight MS804 at 2:30am Cairo time, when the Airbus A320 was at an altitude of about 11,278 meters and approximately 16 kilometers inside Egyptian airspace. The cause of the plane's disappearance was not immediately clear, but airline officials said the aircraft may have crashed.

The airline stated that Egyptian armed forces received a distress message before communication with the plane was lost; however, a military spokesman posted on his Facebook page a statement denying a distress call had been received.

Fifty-six passengers were on board, including one child and two infants. Saudi officials say the flight included passengers from France, Britain, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Chad, Portugal, Algeria and Canada. No U.S. citizens were reported among the missing.

Aviation experts are reiterating that at this point too little is known to draw any conclusions.希臘和埃及的搜救人員正在尋找埃及航空公司一架失蹤客機，這架班機星期四從巴黎飛往開羅途中失蹤，機上有66名乘客和機組人員。

埃及航空公司說，在開羅時間凌晨2時30分與這架空客A320客機失去聯絡，當時該班機的飛行高度約爲1萬1278米，剛剛進入埃及領空16公里左右。目前還不清楚班機失蹤的原因，但民航官員說，這架客機可能已經墜毀。

埃及航空證實，在與這架班機失聯之前，埃及軍方曾收到求救信號。但埃及軍方發言人在臉書上發表聲明，對此予以否認。

這架班機上有56名乘客，包括一名兒童和兩名嬰兒。沙特官員說，機上乘客來自法國、英國、埃及、伊拉克、科威特、沙特、蘇丹、乍得、葡萄牙、阿爾及利亞和加拿大。據報機上沒有美國乘客。

航空專家再三重申，目前瞭解的情況太少，還不能下任何結論。
