What Airline Said After France Grounded Plane With 300 Indians Onboard

Two days after France grounded a Nicaragua-bound plane carrying more than 300 Indian passengers over suspected "human trafficking" , the lawyer for the airline that was ferrying the passengers via a charter has spoken on record claiming there was no wrongdoing by the airline and that all its paperwork is in order. France grounded a charter flight headed to Nicaragua carrying 303 Indian passengers on Friday to conduct a judicial investigation. The Airbus A340, belonging to Romanian charter company Legend Airlines, had flown in from the United Arab Emirates, and had landed at Vatry airport in eastern France for a technical stopover. The airport is 150 kms from Paris, and is mostly used by budget airllines. Authorities stepped in and grounded the plane after an anonymous tip-off that some of the passengers on board were "victims of human trafficking".
