Will Geddes, managing director of private security firm International Corporate Protection, urged people to be “cautious” about assuming the disappearance was caused by terrorism because the flight had departed from Paris, which has suffered several attacks.
The aircraft disappeared from radar at 3.05am local time and Egyptian officials said an automated signal was received 90 minutes later. The military said a distress call was not received an hour ago
