AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A French appeals court has convicted Airbus and Air France of corporate manslaughter for the June 1 2009 Flight AF447 disaster that killed 228 people, imposing the maximum symbolic fine of €225,000 per victim. The court ruled the companies were “solely and entirely responsible” for the crash, which occurred after the aircraft’s pitot‑tube sensors froze, causing erroneous speed readings, loss of autopilot, and a stall over the Atlantic; prosecutors argued the firms knew of the fault and failed to train pilots for such an emergency. Both companies, which had previously been acquitted, deny the charges and plan to appeal to France’s highest court, while victims’ families view the verdict as a long‑overdue step toward justice.
