Paris, France (CNN) -- A Continental Airlines mechanic was found guilty Monday in a trial over the Concorde crash that killed 113 people in 2000.
John Taylor received a fine of 2,000 euros ($2,656) and a 15-month suspended prison sentence. Continental Airlines was fined 202,000 euros ($268,400).
The mechanic was the only person found guilty in the trial in Paris, France. He was not present for the verdict.
His former supervisor and three French officials were found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
The plane burst into flames and smashed into a hotel on takeoff from Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris on July 25, 2000. Air France stopped flying the supersonic jets in 2003.
A Continental Airlines plane that took off shortly before the doomed flight was found to have played a key role in the crash.
A lawyer for the American airline had argued that Concorde's problems were apparent decades before the crash and that Continental was not to blame. CNN
