France/Air France court hearing

Published on: 4 March, 2021

The court of appeal hears the case for whether Air France and Airbus should face a manslaughter trial for the 2009 Rio-Paris crash, thus overturning a 2019 decision to drop the case. The case is brought by family groups who argue that the investigation into Air France / Airbus should never have been dropped. The hearing will be behind closed and the decision will not be published for several weeks.
