But just ahead of the handover to Cairo airspace, calls to the plane went unanswered, before
it dropped off radars shortly after exiting Greek airspace, Kostas Litzerakis, the head of Greece’s civil aviation department, told Reuters.
“During the transfer procedure to Cairo airspace, about seven miles before the aircraft entered the Cairo airspace, Greek controllers tried to contact the pilot but he was not responding,” he said.
Signals from the jet’s transponder ended abruptly while it was cruising at 37,000 feet and a speed of 534 knots, according to aviation website FlightRadar24.com. The A320 was also not deviating from its flight path when it disappeared, the data showed.
