A bomb is suspected of causing the Russian plane to crash after leaving the Egyptian tourist resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Russian aviation investigators confirmed the Airbus definitely broke up in mid-air before plummeting to the ground, killing 224 people – including 17 children.
Terror group ISIS posted a grainy video online and claimed responsibility for the attack.
British tourists heading to Sharm this week have been told they do not have to fly and have been offered vouchers to use on alternative routes.
Several airlines including Lufthansa, Air France, Emirates, Air Arabia and Flydubai all said they would not fly over the Sinai desert until results of the inquiry were known.
