Germanwings Airways

The first bodies from the Germanwings plane that was deliberately crashed in the French Alps were being repatriated to Germany on Tuesday.

Germany's aviation regulator said today it had no previous knowledge of Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz's struggle with severe depression before the disaster in the French Alps.

French President Francois Hollande said today it would soon be possible to identify the victims of the Germanwings plane disaster, as insurers said hundreds of millions of dollars were being set aside to cover compensation for their families.

Leading carriers Emirates and Etihad Airways said today that their cockpits will have two crew members in at all times under new procedures introduced in response to the Germanwings disaster.

The first Germanwings flight on the same route as the plane that crashed in the French Alps took off from Barcelona Wednesday.
