Dubai: Residents who are frequent flyers said the recent spate of airline crashes have not affected their travel plans, although it raises some concerns.
Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 crashed into the French Alps last Tuesday, killing all 150 people onboard. The crash was believed to have been deliberately planned by the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, after locking his captain out of the cockpit.
The Germanwings crash is the latest in a spate of aviation tragedies in the last 13 months — Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that disappeared in March, another Malaysia Airlines MH17 that was gunned down on the Ukraine-Russian border in July, and AirAsia Flight 8501 that crashed due to stormy weather in December.
But this time, investigators of the ill-fated Germanwings flight are leaning on a possible case of suicide.
Indian expatriate Rajesh Sherma, who flies monthly to India, said he believes the incident was just a one-off case but said nonetheless that more stringent measures should be made to ensure everyone’s safety.
