EXPATRIATE Comorans, mourning yesterday's crash of an Airbus plane off their Indian Ocean archipelago, said they had complained to French authorities last week about the Yemeni operator's "rubbish" aircraft.

Members of an association created in France to complain about travelling conditions to the Comoros accused the Yemenia airline of low standards. "The accident was predictable," said Farid Soilihi, president of the association SOS-Voyages to the Comoros.
