Lufthansa Now Says It Knew of Co-Pilot’s Previous Depression

The co-pilot at the controls of the crashed German jetliner had informed Lufthansa in 2009 about his depressive episodes when he was seeking to rejoin the airline’s flight school after a months-long pause in his studies, the company said in a statement Tuesday.

Lufthansa said that it had shared with prosecutors email correspondence between the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, and the flight training school, which included medical records about a “deep depressive episode.” 

French prosecutors said that Mr. Lubitz apparently crashed the Airbus A320 jet of Germanwings, a Lufthansa subsidiary, into the French Alps intentionally on March 24, killing all 150 people on board. Prosecutors in Germany said Monday that that he had been treated for suicidal tendencies.
