“We’re in the very early stages of the investigation,” he said. “The icing and other things are just preliminary focuses.” But recovery of the bodies will take priority over the investigation, Chealander added. The plane struck a house and burst into flames, killing 50 people. It was the first fatal accident on a U.S. passenger flight since Aug. 27, 2006, ending the longest period on record without a death. The crash Thursday night killed 44 passengers, an off-duty pilot, four crewmembers and a man in a house that the plane hit.

Aer Lingus and United announce Trans-Atlantic partnership
Aer Lingus and United Airlines (UAUA) today announce an innovative extension of their relationship on select long haul services between Europe and North America. This partnership will capitalize on the growth opportunities presented by the Open Skies agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) by opening new transatlantic non-stop services. The partners will launch service between Washington Dulles and Madrid, which will be available for sale from April 2009, and will commence daily operations from March 2010. It is anticipated that additional routes may be made available for sale during 2010 to commence operation in Summer 2011.
It is intended that both carriers will equally share the commercial and operating benefits and risk, with Aer Lingus managing the operational aspects of the new partnership services and United Airlines taking responsibility for managing revenue generation. The Partnership route structure will be operated and sold under both Aer Lingus and United Airlines codes and will leverage both parties’ network capabilities.
