Debris analysis will also be key for efforts to determine whether a structural failure of the fuselage occurred because of a maintenance issue or another reason. The aircraft, last registered as EI-ETJ (and on lease from ILFC to Kogalymavia, operating under the Metrojet brand) had been involved in a tail strike on November 1, 2001, when it flew as F-OHMP for Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines (MEA). In what looked like an unstable approach to Cairo International Airport’s runway 5R, the aircraft suffered severe rear fuselage damage upon landing. The aircraft was subsequently repaired and returned to service in early 2002, no details about the repair have become public so far.
