Germanwings used 11 aircraft from its parent company as well as competitors Air Berlin Plc and TuiFly to cover about 40 takeoffs, it said in a statement Wednesday. Two pilots and four cabin crew perished with 144 passengers on the flight that plunged into the mountainside en route from Barcelona to Dusseldorf.
