Lufthansa says Germanwings crash was accident
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLufthansa is working on the assumption that Tuesday’s crash of an Airbus operated by its budget carrier Germanwings was an accident, a senior airline official said.
“For the time being, we say it’s an accident, anything else would be speculation,” Lufthansa vice president for sales and services in Europe, Heike Birlenbach, tells reporters at Barcelona airport from where the plane took off.
The airliner, carrying 144 passengers — including two babies — and six crew, was traveling to the western German city of Duesseldorf when it came down in the French Alps, killing everyone on board.
The airline was unable to immediately confirm the nationalities of those on board, Birlenbach said.
