Following a string of Russian aviation accidents, a Russian lawyer says he will ask Russia’s Supreme Court to curb the authority of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), the Associated Press reported, Wednesday. Formed in 1992, the IAC is a post-Soviet Union era creation. According to lawyer Igor Trunov, it embodies a conflict of interest that prevents it from operating objectively in the interest of safety.
