Egyptair Crash Nationalities

A plant manager with Cincinnati-based Proctor & Gamble was one of 66 passengers and crew members aboard EgyptAir Flight 804 when it disappeared Thursday over the Mediterranean Sea.

Others on board included a Welsh geologist, the sister-in-law of an Egyptian diplomat, a Kuwaiti economist and a French photographer who, covered rock concerts.

People from a dozen countries were on the EgyptAir flight en route from Paris to Cairo when it vanished from radar. No U.S. citizens were on the plane, according to the airline.

There were 30 Egyptians and 15 French citizens listed on the manifest. Two infants and a child were on the flight. Other passengers included two Iraqis and people from nine other countries: Sudan, Chad, Portugal, Algeria, Great Britain, Belgium, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Ten crew members were also on board.

Two Canadians were on the flight, Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Stephane Dion said in a statement.

Procter & Gamble spokesman Damon Jones identified its employee on the flight as Egyptian-born Ahmed Helal, a married father of two children and manager of the company's Amiens France manufacturing plant. He had worked for the company since 2000.

"We are in touch with the employee’s family and are offering them our full support during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them, and all the affected families," Jones said.

Helal was 40, according to French public-radio network France Bleu. He was in charge of one of P&G's largest fabric care plants in the world, employing 930 workers and shipping Ariel, Mr. Clean, Febreze, Dash and Gama throughout Europe.

Helal's Facebook profile lists his hometown as Alexandria, Egypt. He studied mechanical engineering at American University in Cairo before graduating in 2000.

Welshman Richard Osman, 40, a geologist, was among those on the plane, British news outlets reported. He moved to Wales as a boy when his father, a doctor, set up a medical practice there.

A former neighbor, Audrey Jones, said: "He was such a nice lad and always very good to his mother."

Airport officials in Egypt identified two other victims as Hisham el-Maqawad, a sister-in-law of the deputy to the Egyptian ambassador in Paris, and Sahar al-Khawaga, a Saudi woman who worked at the Saudi Embassy in Cairo. Al-Khawaga was in Paris to follow up on her daughter's medical treatment there, the officials said.

Abdel Mohsen Al-Sohaili, a Kuwaiti economist with two disabled children, was headed to Cairo for a three-day break, his nephew, Mosharei al-Sohaili, said.

Pascal Hess, a photographer from Evreux, France, who covered rock concerts, also was a passenger.
