MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the public prosecutor of Marseille, Brice Robin, said that the co-pilot of Germanwings flight 4U 9525, Andreas Lubitz, is likely to have intentionally crashed the plane, while being alone in the pilot cabin. Lubitz reportedly locked the other pilot out after he left the cockpit for several minutes.
Lufthansa's low-cost airline Germanwings’ Airbus A320 passenger jet crashed in a remote area of the French Alps on Tuesday morning, killing all 150 people on board. The plane was heading to Dusseldorf from Barcelona.
Earlier on Thursday, the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority requested British airlines review current standards for cockpit security.
Canadian flag carrier Air Canada also announced that it was changing its policy concerning pilot cabin security and implementing a two-people rule.
