228 people died in the incident in 2009.

Air France and Airbus have been cleared of involuntary manslaughter over a crash between Brazil and Paris in 2009. 

A Rocrea doctor was one of three Irish women who were among the 228 people who died, when the aircraft plunged into the Atlantic Ocean during a thunderstorm.

Aisling Bulter, Jane Deasy and Eithne Walls were all in their 20s.

A French Court today delivered the ruling of not guilty.

The official report found several factors caused the crash, including ice obstructing sensors outside the body of the plane as well as pilot error.
