China Eastern crash intentional

Flight data indicates a China Eastern Airlines plane that crashed in March was intentionally put into a nose-dive. Investigators have so far not found any mechanical or technical faults with the jet, the reports say, citing a preliminary assessment by US officials. The Boeing 737-800 was flying between the southern Chinese cities of Kunming and Guangzhou when it crashed. All 132 passengers and crew on board the plane died in the crash. "The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit", according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story, citing a person familiar with US officials' preliminary assessment of the cause of the crash. Data from one of the plane's "black box" flight recorders, which was recovered from the crash site, suggested that inputs to the controls pushed the plane into a near-vertical dive, the report said. China Eastern Airlines previously said the three pilots on board were qualified and in good health. The airline separately told the Wall Street Journal that there was no indication that any of the pilots was in financial trouble. Last month, the CAAC said reports that the plane may have been crashed deliberately had "gravely misled the public" and "interfered with accident investigation work". Investigators are still in the process of analysing flight data and the wreckage from the crash, Chinese state media outlet the Global Times reported. It also said the CAAC will continue to "carry out the accident investigation in a scientific, rigorous and orderly manner". The Chinese embassy in Washington, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and plane maker Boeing declined to comment on the Wall Street Journal's report, due to guidelines set out by the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization.

The carrier’s CEO, Duncan Naysmith, said, “Sustainability, the protection of natural resources and care for the broader community, as well as the safety and well-being of our passengers and employees, are firmly embedded in the DNA of Air Serbia’s operations, We are focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving our environmental impact. And we deliver on this through improvements to our operations, through the introduction of recycling initiatives, engaging our employees, cooperating with government institutions, optimising pilot procedures, modifying ground preparations for flights, streaming maintenance procedures and reducing the weight of aircraft and everything we place on board aircraft. We monitor and measure the results achieved, and we always strive to do more, because even the slightest improvement makes a difference”. Air Serbia and French company OpenAirlines recently announced they would work together to reduce the carrier’s carbon footprint and improve fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the airline’s monthly in-flight magazine “Elevate”, which is again in publication following the resumption of commercial flights, is now being printed on a different, more environmentally friendly, type of paper, which will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by fourteen tonnes annually. The carrier has also launched dedicated section on its website related to the environment.
