Abstract
Reactions to the forced emergency landing of Ryanair Flight FR4978 at Minsk Airport on Sunday have been pouring in throughout the day. IATA’s Willie Walsh has released a statement calling for an independent international investigation into the event. IATA also condemns any inconsistencies with rules of international law, while stopping short of accusing the Belarusian regime of state-sanctioned hijacking.
