European planemaker Airbus was placed under investigation on Thursday over the 2009 crash on a flight between Rio de Janeiro and Paris that killed 228 people, Airbus Chief Executive Thomas Enders said.

A French magistrate informed Enders and the company's lawyers during a meeting at a Paris court. Airbus has said it is too early to apportion blame since investigators have not yet determined what caused the crash of the Airbus 330 plane, operated by Air France, during an equatorial storm.
