Air France-KLM will implement 35 changes after 2009 crash killed 228

Air France-KLM Group has been handed an independent safety report which it commissioned after the Rio de Janeiro-Paris air crash and says it will implement all 35 of the recommendations made.
On June 1 2009, 228 people were killed after Flight 447 plunged into the Atlantic. The plane’s black box flight recorder was never found but it is believed that erroneous readings from the plane’s airspeed sensors caused system failures.
This week an eight-member panel handed over its report which contained 35 proposals, the details of which Air France has not revealed.
In a statement, the airline said it would implement the changes as soon as possible.
Air France spokesman Nicolas Petteau said: “The report is confidential because it draws upon interviews with employees that are themselves confidential.”
