Three French investigators and a technical expert from Airbus arrived at Cairo International Airport early Friday morning to help investigate the fate of a missing EgyptAir plane that disappeared on Thursday, airport sources said, according to Reuters.
The French investigators are part of the French civil aviation ministry`s office of investigations and analysis, the sources said, as reported by Reuters.
France is participating in an Egypt-led investigative committee as it is the country where the plane was manufactured and the one with the second-most number of passengers, 15, on board. A total of 66 people were on board, 30 of them Egyptian.
