Air France and Airbus cleared of involuntary manslaughter over 2009 crash

The families of victims of France’s worst air disaster said they were devastated after a Paris court cleared Air France and Airbus of manslaughter charges over the 2009 crash that caused the deaths of 228 people.

Giving its verdict on Monday, the court said that if there had been faults committed, “no certain causal link” with the accident had been demonstrated.

David Koubbi, a lawyer for the families of a number of passengers, said the court’s ruling was “incomprehensible”.
