Air France and Airbus were found guilty of manslaughter by a Paris appeals court on May 21, 2026, over a 2009 plane crash that killed 228 people when flight AF447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The court found both companies "solely and entirely responsible" for the incident, reversing a 2023 acquittal, though each company faces a maximum fine of €225,000 and has indicated it will appeal.
