U.S. accident investigators have arrived in China to help authorities look for clues into what caused last month’s crash of a Boeing jetliner with 132 people aboard.
FILE - Passengers wait for their flight as a China Eastern flight takes off from the runway of Baiyun Airport on Friday, March 25, 2022, in southern China's Guangzhou province. The National Transportation Safety Board said the team departed for China on Friday, April 1, to participate in the Civil Aviation Administration of China’s investigation of the March 21 crash of a China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 in which all 132 people on board were killed.
Chinese officials have said that air traffic controllers were unable to get a response from the pilots while the plane was descending. The NTSB said its investigators will limit contact with people outside the investigation so that they can start their work immediately without going through a quarantine period.
A Chinese aviation safety official said a preliminary investigation report would be completed within 30 days of the crash.
