A320 plane was operated by Lufthansa’s budget airline Germanwings |
The jet belongs to the German airline Germanwings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa.
All 144 passengers and six crew aboard the German Airbus A320 are believed to have died in the crash about 100 miles north of Nice.
Flight 4U 9525 vanished from radar screens at about 10.47 am local time, 46 minutes after take-off from Barcelona
French President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that they feared that all those on board had died. “Our first thought is for the victims of this catastrophe,” Valls said.
Hollande said "the conditions of the accident suggest that there would be no survivors." He added that there are likely "many German victims."
"It's a tragedy on our soil," he said.
This was the first crash by a civil airliner in France since the Concorde crash near Paris in 2000, most of whose victims were German tourists.
