Singapore Aviation & General Insurance Co. filed a complaint in Federal District Court in New York to recover damages from Boeing and several other companies it claims to be responsible for the 1997 crash of a Silk Air 737 which killed all 104 persons on board.

The filing comes soon after Indonesian investigators determined that there was no “pilot error” involved, but U.S. aviation authorities have questioned the findings.
