“One in 5 million flights crash. But if there is a crash this week, it doesn’t change the risk of flying tomorrow or the day after,” says Bunn, a former Air Force and commercial pilot. “It may only change your thoughts.”
The airplane had been due in the Comoros capital Moroni at around 0230 (2230GMT) on Monday.
Of the 150 people on board three were babies and 11 were crew.
This is the second disaster involving a plane crash this month and French people have been victims of both accidents.
