Cork plane crash report due in days

The final report into the 2010 Manx2 plane crash disaster at Cork Airport, in which six died, is due to be published within days.

The Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit’s (AAIU) report, which runs to over 200-pages, is expected to make several significant recommendations which could have an impact across Europe’s aviation industry.

Within a year of the crash, the AAIU’s interim statement revealed a sensor fault which affected fuel flow to, and power output from, the doomed Fairchild Metroliner aircraft’s right engine.
