🌺 Memorial Planning

QuestAir is committed to creating lasting memorials to honor those we have lost. Your input is valued as we plan both temporary and permanent memorial sites.

Temporary Memorial

A temporary memorial site has been established near the incident location where families can visit, leave flowers, photographs, and personal tributes. This site includes:

  • Designated areas for floral tributes and personal mementos
  • A book of remembrance for written messages
  • Photograph display areas
  • Seating and reflection spaces
  • Interfaith prayer facilities

The temporary memorial will remain in place for at least six months while permanent memorial plans are finalized.

Permanent Memorial

QuestAir, in consultation with families and relevant authorities, is planning a permanent memorial to honor the memory of all passengers and crew. The permanent memorial will:

  • Be located at a site accessible to all families
  • Include the names of all victims (with family permission)
  • Incorporate meaningful symbols and elements suggested by families
  • Provide a peaceful place for reflection and remembrance
  • Be maintained in perpetuity

We invite families to share their ideas and preferences for the permanent memorial design through the form below.
