Investigators say traces of explosives have been found on some bodies recovered from the EgyptAir plane that crashed last May.
The Airbus A320 came down in the eastern Mediterranean en route from Paris to Cairo on 19 May.
All 66 people on board were killed and the cause of the crash remains unknown.
Egypt's Civil Aviation Ministry said in a statement a criminal investigation will now begin into Flight 804.
The tragedy happened seven months after a Russian airliner crashed in the Sinai Peninsula shortly after taking off from an Egyptian Red Sea resort.
The local affiliate of Islamic State said it had planted a bomb on board and Russia said later the aircraft was almost certainly brought down by explosives.
All 226 passengers and crew lost their lives.
