Airline sees no reasons to view human factor as cause of Saturday's crash in Egypt

The Kolavia airline sees no reasons to view the human factor as a possible cause of Saturday's plane crash in Egypt, Oksana Golovina, a spokesperson for the TH&C holding, which incorporates Kolavia, said at a press conference in Moscow on Saturday.

The plane's captain, Valery Nemov, had more than 12,000-hour flying experience, and the plane was absolutely in order, Golovina said.

"We have a fully operational aircraft, we have an experienced crew, and we have a pilot with many hours, and so we don't know" what could have caused the crash, she said.
