An EgyptAir flight travelling from Paris to Cairo has disappeared from radar.
Official says there are 59 passengers and 10 crew members on board flight MS804.
The aircraft was flying at 37,000 feet when it went missing over the eastern Mediterranean.
The company says it will issue an update “when more information becomes available”.
It adds that the concerned authorities have been notified, and search and rescue teams are now looking for the aircraft.
The search operation is being co-ordinated with the Greek authorities.
In March, an EgyptAir plane was hijacked and diverted to Cyprus. The attacker later surrendered and all hostages were released.
