Airbus, Air France found guilty in deadly 2009 crash

 The Paris Court of Appeal found on Thursday that Airbus SE and Air France-KLM SA are guilty of manslaughter by negligence in the 2009 crash that killed all 228 passengers and crew. The companies were ordered to pay €225,000 each, the maximum fine for the charges.

The crash happened on June 1, 2009, when the Air France Airbus A330 plane fell into the Atlantic Ocean on its way from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. An investigation determined that the crash was caused by a variety of technical issues and the crew's inadequate reaction, partly due to a lack of training.

Airbus stock fell by 3.07% following the ruling, while Air France-KLM lost 1.28%.
