CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian air traffic control lost contact with a civilian airliner carrying 212 people shortly after it took off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to head to Russia, aviation sources said on Saturday.
The sources said the passenger plane was mainly carrying Russian tourists and that a search was underway.
Security sources in the Sinai Peninsula confirmed reports that an aircraft was missing.
