A Justiça francesa condenou Air France e Airbus por homicídio culposo no acidente do voo AF447, que matou 228 pessoas em 2009. A decisão reverte sentença anterior e estabelece multa para as empresas.
A French court fined Airbus and Air France the maximum €225,000 each for corporate manslaughter in the 2009 Air France Flight 447 crash. Relatives of the 228 victims, who died in the Atlantic storm, have pursued a 17-year legal battle for accountability.
Six passengers were hospitalized after a SWISS flight LX147 from Delhi to Zurich suffered engine failure and fire during takeoff at IGIA around 1:08 am. The crew aborted takeoff and evacuated 232 passengers and crew via emergency slides on runway 28. The Airbus A330 (HB-JHK) was traveling at 104 knots when the incident occurred. Six injured passengers were taken to Medanta hospital. Runway 28 remains closed until the aircraft is removed.
