the Swiss Federal Office for Civil Aviation, who says her country
banned Flash Airlines from landing or even flying in Swiss
airspace. One of the company's two 737-300s crashed in the Red Sea
shortly after taking off from Egypt, killing 148 people. Most of
the passengers were young vacationers from France.
