poor safety record
Air France is going to have a very hard time explaining this one and I am sure the victim's Lawyers are going to have a field day at the Courts.
If the Air France "Juggernaut" was not one of the "heavyweights" of Europe and if it's safety standards were appraised by the same criteria as the smaller airlines it would definitely be included in the infamous European "Black List".
This airline has the worst safety record in Europe.
