The family of the co-pilot killed in the Cork plane crash a year ago are suing two companies involved in running the flight.

There is no claim against the Ronaldsway based ticketing agent Manx 2.

Twenty-seven year-old Andrew Cantle from Sunderland was newly qualified and had just started his first airline job when he died in the crash in thick fog at Cork Airport.

His partner, Beth Webster, says she is struggling to cope with life without him and is suing FlightlineBCN, which was granted a certificate to run the service, and Airlada, which leased the plane and crew.

Six people died and six others were injured in the crash.
