Cairo - MENA
The Coptic Orthodox Heavenly Cathedral in Sharm El Sheikh held a mass for the victims of last year’s Russian plane crash on the first anniversary of the incident.
The Egyptian state TV aired the event live.
It was attended by South Sinai Governor Khaled Fouda, Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy and Russian Ambassador to Egypt Sergei Kirpichenko.
Russian Metrojet (Kogalymavia) Airbus A321 passenger plane en route from Sharm el Sheikh to Russia’s St. Petersburg crashed on October 31, 2015, around 30 minutes after takeoff in Egypt's North Sinai, 100 kilometers to the south of Al Arish.
The flight carried 217 passengers and seven crew members. No one survived the crash. Most passengers were Russian nationals. Among the people on board were also four Ukrainian citizens and one Belarusian national.
