The Belgian and Dutch Governments will ask the International Civil Aviation Organisation to modify its Flight Plan procedures following the Belgian air force Lockheed Martin C-130 crash on 15 July, in which 35 people died. The investigating committee, established that although, passenger numbers must be recorded by pilots in flight plans, this is not normally transmitted to the destination. Most, if not all, of the fatalities resulted from the post-crash fire. The Eindhoven airfield fire brigade did not know that the aircraft was carrying passengers.
