EgyptAir Flight 804 probe likely to face constraints of multinational effort

But if previous international air-crash investigations are a guide—including some involving Egypt since the late 1990s—friction between various countries and organisations during months or even years of work could hamper progress. How effectively officials leading these related but legally separate investigative strands share information could help determine ultimate success, according to aviation experts not directly involved in the process. <br/>
