ZURICH (Reuters) - An investigation into the crash of a vintage plane in the Swiss Alps in August that killed 20 people has so far found no technical defects that caused the tragedy, the country's transport safety agency said on Tuesday.

Three Austrians and 17 Swiss were aboard the Junker Ju-52 aircraft when it crashed on Aug. 4 in the mountainous canton of Grissons. The 1930s-era military aircraft was used by tourist flight operator JU-Air.
