MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Egypt's aviation authority is the only official source of information on the investigation into the Russian Kogalymavia A321 airliner's crash in the northern Sinai Peninsula, the Interstate Aviation Committee said in a statement on Monday.
"The official source of information on a [plane crash] investigation is a state that has been conducting the investigation (in this case, the Egyptian aviation authorities)," the statement said, referring to the Annex 13 on aircraft accident and incident investigation of the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
The aviation committee pledged to inform the general public on the investigation process in line with the terms of international law.
