A Paris appeals court will issue a verdict on Thursday in the appeals case stemming from the 2009 crash of an Air France passenger jet. The airline and planemaker Airbus faced trial over corporate manslaughter charges. The Airbus A330 vanished in darkness during an Atlantic storm.
Relatives of some of the 228 passengers and crew who died are expected in court. The proceedings follow a 17-year legal battle to assign blame for France's worst air disaster.
