Only one girl survived – Bahija Bakari. She was sent to her father in France.
The euro commissioner of transport Antonio Tajani has supported creation of the global list of unreliable airlines by the analogy that is made by the European Union:
“If we want to achieve better safety, I am convinced that we need to have a worldwide blacklist http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm ”. And he noticed that the European black list, which was made two years ago, perfectly carries out its functions. This statement was a consequence of airplane crash.
Before tragic event Yemen’s airline, which plane has suffered accident, was not in the black list, because it has passed all necessary checks. Tajani declares, that soon the European Union authorities will contact the company and, possibly, will introduce corrective amendments in the black list.
