A French court has acquitted Airbus and Air France of involuntary manslaughter charges over the 2009 crash of Flight 447 from Rio de to Paris in which 228 people were killed.
Giving its verdict on Monday, the court said if there had been faults committed, “no certain causal link” with the accident could be shown. Sobs broke out among victims' families in the courtroom as the judges read out the decision.
