On the day of the crash Panos Kammenos, the Greek defence minister, noted the aircraft changed heading 90 degrees to the left, then turned 360 degrees to the right while it dropped from Flight Level 370 to 15,000 feet (4,600 m). It was originally reported that a distress signal from emergency devices was detected by the Egyptian military at 04:26, two hours after the last radar contact officials later retracted this statement. The flight had lasted 3 hours 25 minutes. The aircraft crashed into the sea around 2:33, when the last ACARS message was sent. It disappeared from radar while flying at flight level 370 (about 37,000 ft (11,300 m) in altitude) in clear weather, 280 km (170 mi 150 nmi) north of the Egyptian coast, and about the same distance from Kastellorizo, over the eastern Mediterranean on 19 May at 02:30. The aircraft departed for Cairo International Airport from Charles de Gaulle Airport on at 23:09 (all times refer to UTC+2, used in France and Egypt at the time). Right: Flight speed (orange) and altitude (blue) from 20:30 to 00:30. The last completed flight of the aircraft, before its ultimate crash, was Flight 803 to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. The flight was the aircraft's fifth that day, having flown from Asmara International Airport, Eritrea, to Cairo then from Cairo to Tunis–Carthage International Airport, Tunisia, and back. ![]() It made its first flight on 25 July 2003, and was delivered to EgyptAir on 3 November 2003. The aircraft involved was an Airbus A320-232, registration SU-GCC, MSN 2088, powered by two IAE V2527-A5 engines. In April 2022, it was reported that the fire likely was caused by one of the pilots smoking a cigarette, which burned out of control when exposed to oxygen leaking from a cockpit oxygen mask. Ī manslaughter investigation was started in France in June 2016 in April 2019, a report commissioned as part of the investigation stated the aircraft was not airworthy and should have never taken-off: recurring defects had not been reported by the crews, including alerts reporting potential fire hazards. On 6 July 2018, the BEA stated that the most likely hypothesis was a fire in the cockpit that spread rapidly. ![]() ![]() In May 2017, the BEA led by France conducted their own investigation, ultimately dismissing the explosives claim as they were unable to find any explosive residue, and no terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the crash. In December 2016, Egyptian officials said traces of explosives were found on the bodies, hinting to a possible terrorism attack. In August 2016, French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault criticized the fact that no further explanation for the reasons behind the crash had been given. On 29 June, Egyptian officials announced that the flight data recorder data indicated smoke in the aircraft, and that soot plus damage from high temperatures was found on some of the wreckage from the front section of the aircraft. Nearly four weeks after the crash, several main sections of wreckage were identified on the seabed, and both flight recorders were recovered in a multinational search and recovery operation. Debris from the aircraft was found in the Mediterranean Sea approximately 290 km (180 mi) north of Alexandria. The last communications from the aircraft prior to its submersion were two transmissions from its emergency locator transmitter that were received by the International Cospas-Sarsat Programme. No mayday call was received by air traffic control, although signals that smoke had been detected in one of the aircraft's lavatories and in the avionics bay were automatically transmitted via ACARS shortly before the aircraft disappeared from radar. On at 02:33 Egypt Standard Time ( UTC+2), the Airbus A320 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea, killing all 56 passengers, 3 security personnel, and 7 crew members on board.
