The mystery of the EgyptAir MS804 jet crash deepened after claims by French TV Station that the pilot spoke about 'an emergency descent' aimed at putting out a fire.

It was initially claimed Mohamed Said Ali Shoukair lost all radio contact before the Airbus A320 plunged into the sea last Thursday, killing all 66 people on board, en route from Paris to Cairo.

But aviation sources in Paris have now said he contacted Egyptian air traffic controllers to say he was going to make an emergency landing because there was smoke filling the plane.

There was 'conversation several minutes long' between Captain Shoukair and the controllers, which amounted to 'a distress call', according to French TV station M6.

However, the claims were last night denied by EgyptAir. A spokesman said: 'Claims made by the French TV station are not true. The pilot did not contact Egypt air control before the incident.'
