Very sad, always seems to be some sort of tragedy around Xmas.
I don't understand how you can lose a plane without any mayday signal or any sign something is wrong. Are they just exploding with no warning or falling out of the sky?
I would expect that the airline is insured for this type of tragic event and it will insulate them from excess costs. I doubt that it will affect Mr Fernandes too much financially and therefore QPR probably won't be affected as a result.
