2009 Air France crash: French appeals trial nears verdict
NegativeWorld Affairs

- An eight-week trial in Paris is nearing its conclusion regarding the 2009 Air France crash that resulted in the deaths of all 228 individuals on board. Prosecutors are urging the appeals court to overturn a previous ruling that exonerated Air France and Airbus of corporate manslaughter, citing pilot errors related to sensor icing as a critical factor in the crash of the A330 into the Atlantic during a tropical storm.
- The outcome of this trial holds significant implications for Air France and Airbus, as a reversal of the lower court's decision could lead to corporate accountability and impact the aviation industry's safety protocols, potentially reshaping how such incidents are investigated and managed in the future.
