(31 Oct 2015, 2:03 pm)8222 I love the A321. I've flown on 4 of BA's fleet and I much prefer them to the A320/A319. Seem 'more' of an aircraft, so to speak.
That aside, what a tragic event. It seems to be a leased aircraft from Ireland. There's rumors on the net (airliners.net forum) that the pilot wanted to make a landing at Cairo due to 'engine difficulties'.

Jump to post 57. It'll be interesting to see what transpires.
I've flown with Rossiya (now owned by Aeroflot) on one of their A319s. I had a Russian-registered one when I flew St Petersburg - Amsterdam on a KLM codeshare. This was the year when there was a few Russian aviation incidents, including the one involving Lokomotiv Yaroslavl' and their hockey team. The service onboard, the age of the aircraft and just general appearance did not give me a good feel for Russian aviation. Needless to say, when I go back nowadays to LED or DME, I fly BA.
Aircraft flown on:
744, 77W, 772, E145, E190, E170, E175, E195, A319, A320, A320NEO, A321, A321NEO, A330-200, A330-300, A340-600 763, 752, 733, 737, 738, CRJ900, CRJ1000
Favourite aircraft: G-STBL/G-ZBKL
