In February 1995 , SINTEF handed over a report ordered by the commission which revealed several absent safety procedures in Widerøe . The report was based on a recommendation by the International Civil Aviation Organization to take into consideration the organizational structure the aircraft operate within when investigating aviation accidents . In June , parliamentarian Magnus Stangeland criticized the commission for working too slow , stating that the victims and next of kin needed answers to why the accident happened . The lack of cooperation between the police and the commission was the main source of the delays . Similar delays had occurred after Partnair Flight 394 in 1989 , which had resulted in the statute of limitations having come into effect by the time the report was published . A temporary report was presented to the survivors and next of kin on 20 March 1996 ; the report laid the responsibility for the accident on the airline . The final report was published on 10 July 1996 and laid the responsibility for the accident on the company and its operating routines . The report contained 26 recommendations for improvements for the company . The Norwegian Prosecuting Authority decided in September 1997 not to charge Widerøe for the accident
