PARIS, November 10. /TASS/. Aircraft manufacturer Airbus has said it did not have any evidence that the A321 plane that crashed in Egypt had any technical faults.
"The Aibus’ registry did not have any data pointing to technical faults of this particular A321 plane," a representative of the company told TASS on Tuesday. "However, there are no grounds to say anything with certainty for now. The conclusions can be made only after the official investigation," he added.
