Mr Fairbank explained there were "conflicting reports" regarding the cause of the fire. The Egyptian air accident investigation report concluded there was a "detonation of an explosive device secreted in the forward galley", the area just behind the cockpit. But the French investigation reported it was instead likely the fire started in an oxygen mask storage box within the cockpit. Mr Fairbank said he believed "the weight of the evidence does not support an on-board explosion".
