No surprises here. The victims of this summer’s Air France tragedy are looking to commence legal proceedings against the airliner. At this time little is known.  One of the suspected causes might be faulty speed sensors. Air France says that it has replaced the faulty sensors.

On August 2, 2005 an Air France jet failed to land on the runway in Toronto, Ontario. Instead, it landed in a ravine. All the passengers were safe but Air France faced class action proceedings on behalf of the passengers.

In June 2008 Air France started a lawsuit against the GTTA (Greater Toronto Airports Authority) for a faulty runway.
