1433 GMT - Air France-KLM is among the most mentioned companies across news items over the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data, after Air France and Airbus were cleared of involuntary manslaughter over a 2009 crash. An Air France spokesman said the airline acknowledged the court's acquittal decision. Airbus said the ruling meant all criminal charges against the European plane maker had been dismissed. The ruling refers to an incident on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in June 2009. According to a 2012 report from French accident investigators, Air France pilots received wrong speed readings after ice crystals froze key equipment on the plane, prompting them to keep the nose up and climb above 37,000 feet. At that point, the aircraft stalled and plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva. (cecilia.butini@wsj.com)
