January 2004 CE

Flash Airlines Flight 604 crashes into the Red Sea off the coast of Egypt shortly after takeoff from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport on January 3, 2004, killing all one hundred and thirty-five passengers, most of whom are French tourists, and all thirteen crew members.

The findings of the crash investigation will be controversial, with accident investigators from the different countries involved unable to agree on the cause of the accident.

Flight 604 is the deadliest air disaster in Egypt until it is surpassed almost twelve years later by the bombing of Metrojet Flight 9268.

It remains the deadliest accident involving a 737 Classic aircraft.
