YRP "The flight did not operate to/from France).correction: The flight originated from Paris via Sanaa with an aircraft change.Most of the passengers originated from France.Some were French nationals.
Janetflight -correction: Mayote is a subset of the Comores union in any case with Moroni where the accident took place its capital city. France still has diplomatic if not political interests.I stand corrected.By law the investigation should be conducted by the Comorean authorities but due to inadequate organization they can obtain assistance from a foreign state especially since the aircraft concerned was Airbus-French make and the very close political and diplomatic ties between these two nations historically.For a long time The Comores was like a Department in France and Comorian nationals have special access to France.
