Could a Mod amend the title to reflect the Flight Number?

DailyMail reporting search and rescue teams have been sent out. Not good.

Whilst it may only be of little consolation to the family and friends of those involved, at least it has disappeared in a high traffic/high population area, so there is every chance the aircraft/crash site will be located.

The Mediterranean isn't that big and it had made it into Egyptian airspace, they will locate in a few hours max.

Calm weather reported during its flight, no distress call....

Airline safety network have just tweeted Egyptair have "confirmed" counts as 56 pax, 7 crew, 3 security personnel.

Seemed like a pretty normal flight until it droped off radar.

Interesting

Showing all 738 operations except the day in question.

Is that accurate?

QF1 is taxiing for its 2nd leg. I wonder how this incident factors into any security assessment of and construction of its flightpath even though its usual flightpath is nowhere near this region.

This has been changed by FA. Upthread I posted FA calling this a B738 flight.

MS confirms this as a 2003 built A320 (Rego SU-GCC)

While this has been done now, reporting the first (or any) post alerts moderators much more effectively than a comment that can be overlooked.

Airline safety network have just tweeted Egyptair have "confirmed" counts as 56 pax, 7 crew, 3 security personnel.

CNN said there was no special cargo, yet they had 3 security personnel? Is that a normal number? I know some flights have air marshals, but I would imagine 3 is a high number for such a small plane.

Could this be because of security risks at origin, destination, region of the world, recent history on MS??
