At least 17 people were killed late Wednesday morning when an Air Force Embraer EMB-120ER crashed in central Angola, state-run media reported. Several people survived the accident.
British Airways on Friday announced that the company registered a $252 million profit in the first half of 2010, representing the first profit for the air carrier in the last two years.
Over the years, a particular focus has been placed on aviation safety improvements. Many of these improvements have come to be thanks to the lessons learned from past crashes.
