Nothing new in Polish report on Smolensk air crash - official. Accident occurred April 10, 2010. Tupolev 154M. Smolensk Air Base, Russia.

The Polish report into the last April Smolensk air crash that killed the country's president Lech Kaczynski, his wife and 94 top-officials contains nothing new, the head of the technical commission of the Interstate aviation committee (IAC) Alexei Morozov said Tuesday.

According to Morozov, the Polish investigation committee only repeated a number of remarks, earlier rejected by the IAC.

He stressed that the airdrome near Smolensk where the president’s plane was supposed to land was in full operation and not temporarily open as it was stated in the Polish report. Morozov reiterated that the main reason for the accident was a decision not to divert the plane to another airport with better visibility and weather conditions.
