Air France and Airbus found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for Rio-Paris flight crash

A Paris appeals court found Air France and Airbus guilty of corporate manslaughter on May 21 over the 2009 crash of Flight AF447, reversing a 2023 lower court acquittal. Each company was ordered to pay the maximum fine of €225,000.

Flight AF447 departed Rio de Janeiro on May 31, 2009, and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, killing all 216 passengers and 12 crew members on board. The victims represented 33 nationalities, including 72 French and 58 Brazilian nationals.

Investigators determined that iced-up pitot speed probes caused the autopilot to disconnect, after which the crew mishandled the resulting stall. The aircraft, an Airbus A330-200 registered F-GZCP, plunged from 38,000 feet into the sea.

Prosecutors focused on alleged failures at both companies, including poor pilot training and failure to act on earlier incidents involving iced sensors. The court found Airbus had underestimated the severity of the probe failures and had not urgently informed airlines.

The €225,000 fines have been widely described as a token penalty, amounting to just minutes of either company's revenue. However, family groups said the conviction represented a recognition of their plight following a 17-year legal battle.

Airbus announced it will appeal to the Court of Cassation for a judicial review, while French lawyers predicted Air France would also lodge a further appeal. The wreckage was located two years after the crash at a depth of 3,900 meters following an extensive deep-sea search.
