2001 Crossair crash near Zurich's Kloten airport BERNE, Switzerland (SwissInfo) - Six managers from former Swiss regional airline Crossair are to be charged over the death of 24 people in a plane crash in 2001. The federal justice authorities said on Friday the defendants, who remained unnamed, are accused of negligent homicide and causing grievous bodily harm over the accident, which took place near Zurich.  The alleged offences carry a maximum three-year prison sentence or a fine. It is not immediately clear when the trial will open. The families of the victims were paid a financial compensation.  The plane was flying from the German capital, Berlin, to Zurich on the night of November 24, 2001 in snow and rain. It crashed just short of the Zurich airport runway, killing 24 of the 33 people on board, including the pilot and co-pilot.  Accident investigators concluded that the crash had been caused by the 57-year-old pilot being too tired to concentrate fully or make crucial decisions.  He had been working more than 13 hours when the accident took place and had also exceeded maximum duty several times in the days preceding the crash.  The report also pointed to the lack of safety controls and poor pilot training at Crossair, which later merged with former national carrier Swissair to form the Swiss airline. Swiss was in turn taken over by the German Lufthansa in 2005.
