It is the first time French companies face trial for ‘involuntary manslaughter’ following an air crash
A French criminal court opened the historic manslaughter trial of Air France and plane maker Airbus on Monday, with relatives demanding justice 13 years after an A330 passenger jet plowed into the Atlantic, killing everyone on board.
After a two-year search for the A330′s black boxes using remote submarines, investigators found pilots had responded clumsily to a problem involving iced-up speed sensors and lurched into a free fall without responding to “stall” alerts. Lawyers warned against allowing the long-awaited trial – which is going ahead after a decision to abandon the case was overturned – to sideline family members represented on day one.
“It’s not the 225,000 euros that will worry them. It’s their reputations … that’s what’s at stake for ,” said families lawyer Alain Jakubowicz.
