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.
