Cause of Deadly Crash Flight MU5735 Still a Mystery Two Years On

What’s new: China’s aviation regulator has provided an update on the investigation into the crash of a Boeing passenger jet operated by China Eastern Airlines Corp. Ltd., which resulted in the loss of 132 lives two years ago. The cause of the incident has not yet been identified.

The crashed jet, Flight MU5735, which nosedived into a hillside, met all key requirements, including flight crew qualifications, flight maintenance, aircraft operation and aircraft airworthiness, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said Wednesday on the eve of the crash’s second anniversary.
