Swift Air fined €225,000 over crash
The Paris Criminal Court has fined the Spanish company "Swift Air" 225,000 euros after convicting them of involuntary manslaughter in the crash of an Air Algerie aircraft in 2014, which resulted in the deaths of 116 people. The court based its ruling on the company's negligence in training and qualifying the crew, which significantly contributed to the accident that occurred while crossing an area struck by storms in Mali. The crash was attributed to the failure to activate the anti-icing system, leading to a decrease in engine speed without appropriate response from the pilots. The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas "MD-83." The Spanish company denied responsibility, claiming that the incident was caused by factors outside their control.
