EgyptAir flight MS621 made an emergency landing on Thursday evening due to technical failure, which forced the flight commander to land in Sharm El-Sheikh International airport for safety procedures.

The flight was travelling from Kuwait to Cairo, carrying 303 passengers, who were all transferred to another aeroplane following the landing to complete the trip to Cairo.

In the early hours of 19 May, EgyptAir flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea claiming the lives of all 66 people on-board. Investigations on the case continue.

During the past months, Cairo International airport witnessed several security and technical examinations by local and international experts.
