Bombardier to investigate causes of 2 fatal plane crashes
Bombardier will investigate after planes built by the company crashed in Nepal Monday and Sunday in Iran, killing roughly 60 people combined. The planes have been identified as the Q400 turboprop in the Nepal crash, which is built in Toronto, and a Challenger business jet in the Iranian crash. A senior investigator and a field service representative will depart Tuesday morning to Nepal, said a spokesperson for Bombardier. “It (Q400) has been designed to be robust and reliable in consideration to high cycle demands of regional airlines,” the spokesperson said. Mark Masluch, director of Communications and Public Affairs for Bombardier called the back-to-back crashes an “unfortunate coincidence,” adding that it would be “inappropriate” to comment on any links between the two accidents. <br/>
