Paris court finds Airbus, Air France guilty in 2009 crash that killed 228
A Paris court has found Airbus and Air France guilty of manslaughter for their role in the 2009 crash of Flight AF447, which killed all 228 people on board. The companies were deemed solely responsible for the incident where the aircraft stalled and plunged into the Atlantic Ocean during a storm. Both companies, which had previously been cleared in 2023, have stated they will appeal the verdict. While the court imposed the maximum fine of €225,000 on each company, some victims' families have criticized the amount as insufficient. AI
