Egypt is no stranger to aviation incident!

The Egyptair officials  were not wrong after all in their assumptions of weather the declared missingplane was either hijacked by terrorist  or it crashed into the Sea. This is the third time
such incident has occurred in one year.  Reviewing the Egyptian Airline incidents starting from
March 29, 2016 where the Egyptair flight was hijacked and diverted to Cyprus and thereafter the suspect was arrested. Also in October 31, 2015 a Metrojet flight in Egypt was downed in Sinai peninsula killing all 224 passengers on board  -  Isis claimed responsibility which raised concerns about security in Egypt airport.  Also back in 1999, Egypt air flight  990 crashed into Atlantic Ocean killing all 217 in which the American investigators later confirmed that it was a deliberate mission by a copilot.  Again in 1985, November 23 , Egypt air flight 648 was hijacking by gunmen  with dozens killed when Egyptian troops raided the plane. And currently this year,  on the 18th of May,  2016, Egyptair 804 carrying 66 passengers with 10 crews which was formerly declared missing had crashed into the sea. The two days search which was conducted confirmed that the plane had already crushed into the sea.  This incident can  be seen to be linked with previous airlines incident in Egypt.  After this disaster,  will they be transparent?
