We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of lives in this devastating midair collision near Washington DC. Our hearts go out to the families, friends, and communities mourning their loved ones. The pain of such an event is immeasurable, and we share in the sorrow of all those affected.
At this time, we must allow investigators the necessary space and time to carry out a thorough investigation. While we all have questions, rushing to conclusions does not honor the memory of those lost. Instead, we stand in unity with the aviation community, committed to learning from this tragedy and ensuring the highest standards of safety.
We also extend our full support to our fellow pilots in the United States during this incredibly difficult moment. The bond among aviators is strong, and in times like these, we stand together. Our thoughts remain with all those affected, and we offer our deepest condolences to those grieving this heartbreaking loss.
The European Cockpit Association (ECA) and Capt. Tanja Harter have reached out to the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) in the United States to offer support and express their deepest condolences during this difficult time.
