Air India Crash: Will Families Get Compensation?

Written By: Danish

A horrific Air India crash in Ahmedabad killed 133+ people, with 242 onboard. The plane burst into flames, raising fears of more casualties.

Tragedy

Under Montreal Convention 1999, airlines must compensate victims’ families—up to ₹1.4 crore ($175K) per death, more if negligence is proven.

Compensation

Travel insurance (often included in tickets) pays additional claims. International fliers get extra protection, ensuring families receive financial aid.

Insurance

Families must verify victims’ identities, file claims with airlines/insurers, and may need legal help for full compensation.

Process

India follows global aviation laws. Air India, as the operator, must comply with compensation rules for this London-bound flight crash.

India’s Role

Airlines & insurers assist families, but legal experts can ensure fair settlements. Investigation reports impact final compensation amounts.

Support

Travel insurance is crucial for fliers. Always check coverage—it provides extra security beyond airline payouts in tragedies.
