'Catastrophic' crash
Many of the papers analyse the release of automated communications data sent by the EgyptAir Airbus which crashed into the Mediterranean on Friday, killing all onboard.
The Sunday Mirror says fire was detected on EgyptAir flight MS804 "two minutes before 66 people died", adding that experts believe it was caused by a bomb. "The relatively short time between smoke warnings and the plane going into a terrible seven-mile plunge suggests something more catastrophic than a cigarette or electrical fire," says the paper.

According to the Sunday People, the fire that brought the aircraft down "was so rapid and catastrophic that experts fear it may have been sparked by a terrorist device".
The Sunday Telegraph quotes an anonymous pilot, who flies the larger Airbus A330 for a European airline, saying he believed the data log "suggested that the windows in the right side of the cockpit were blown out by an explosion inside the aircraft".
Aviation safety specialist David Learmount is quoted in the Sunday Express saying the key question currently is how the fire started, whether that is an "ordinary electrical fire" or was "started deliberately with a small explosion or incendiary device".
Experts, says the Sun on Sunday, "were unable to explain how it fell so rapidly that the crew sent no mayday signals".
The Mail on Sunday quotes Simon Hradecky of the website Aviation Herald, which released the automated Acars maintenance messages from the crashed jet. He says the airliner's oxygen supply could have been breached, causing the fire to spread more quickly, so that it "becomes catastrophic within three minutes".
According to the Sunday Times, the information sent by the jet's onboard computer "might help explain what happened, but not why" and examination of the wreckage "will be vital".
But it may be "weeks or even months" before investigators find the Airbus's black box data recorders, notes the Observer, adding that "part of the search area has a seabed with challenging geology, and few have forgotten the two-year search needed to find the same parts of an Air France flight that crashed into the Atlantic in 2009".
