Court suits regarding the April 29 747 freighter crash at Bagram Airfield

From an Oct. 2 Bloomberg story:

"National Air Cargo Group Inc. and its insurer sued the U.S. for breach of contract, saying the government failed to provide reimbursement of as much as $45 million for the crash of a Boeing 747-400 on a military mission in Afghanistan that killed seven crew members.

"The Federal Aviation Administration improperly denied a claim to pay out on an insurance policy covering aircraft contractors working for the Defense Department in a hostile setting, according to a complaint filed yesterday by the air carrier and Commerce & Industry Insurance Co. in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington.

". . . In August, the estates of three pilots killed in the crash sued Boeing Co. in state court in Illinois, alleging negligent conversion of the plane from passenger to cargo use."

"The cases are pending."
