Investing.com -- Air France-KLM CEO Ben Smith expressed confidence in the Boeing (NYSE:BA) 787 Dreamliner while offering condolences to Air India and those affected by the fatal crash in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
"We still have confidence in the airplane; we have 34 787s in the KLM fleet," Smith said at the Paris Air Forum conference on Friday, noting that the tragic accident is under investigation.
Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury, speaking at the same event, also expressed condolences to families of victims of the crash, which has been described as the worst aviation disaster in a decade.
The crash of the London-bound passenger jet killed more than 240 people. India’s air accident agency is currently investigating the cause, while safety experts have warned it is too early to speculate on what led to the disaster.
In response to the incident, India’s aviation regulator directed Air India on Friday to conduct safety inspections on its Boeing 787-8/9 fleet, according to an official order.
