'No links' between Air France and Yemenia Air crashes - by Dan Milmo

Aircraft crashes inspire horrified fascination – and, inevitably, frenzied speculation – whenever they occur.

However, any thought that the two incidents are related – the safety of Airbus products has been heavily questioned in recent weeks following the Air France disaster – has been downplayed by seasoned commentators.
