Turkish Airlines deny pilots reacted too late

Dutch press (ANP): Turkish Airlines stated that "if you read the report carefully, you conclude the pilots are not to blame". "When the speed is less than 250 km/h, there is nothing you can do. They were already at 178 km/h" according their spokesman. Turkish arlines say the Boeing 737's equipment was faulty. "There was nothing found wrong with the altimeter in the previous eight flights. Doing the maintenance inspections we followed Boeing regulations." (translated from Dutch)
