Most families affected by the AI171 air crash have now received interim financial assistance, with Air India saying it has started the process of final compensation while continuing to return personal belongings and provide support services to relatives of the victims.
The airline said it has paid an interim compensation of ₹25 lakh each to the families of 96% of those who lost their lives in the accident. The remaining cases are largely awaiting completion of documentation or are affected by family-related legal issues. Air India added that there is no deadline for families to accept its compensation offers.
