Two small planes collided in midair near Schwabisch Hall Airport, Germany, on April 15.
The incident happened when the planes coming from Stuttgart and Regensburg respectively were attempting to land at the airport.
At least two people were killed in the crash.
An independent board of inquiry for determining the causes of the crash was petitioned by politician Marvi Memon.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik gave a two month timeframe for the release of the Air Blue report. It still has not been released due to “political pressure.”
The families have persistent unanswered questions regarding the Air Blue crash in the Margalla Hills in Islamabad. One hundred fifty two people died in that crash in July 2010. As of Thursday, the PHC expects the written submissions (complete statements) from all respondents on the next court date.
Counsel Omar Farouk Adam requested that the Air Blue Fleet be grounded until the report is made public. According to Chief Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan, relief for the victims families must be “fixed” in the inquiry prior to the court ordering interim relief.
