Malaysia Airlines has announced on March 24 that the lost aircraft and the missing passengers have finally become tense. Malaysia Airlines has announced on March 24 that the lost aircraft has fallen in the South Indian Ocean, and the search and rescue work is still going on. The Chinese air force and navy have launched a full-scale search and rescue operation to the suspected falling areas. At the same time, the issue of compensation for the families of the missing passengers has also been put on the agenda.
According to the Montreal Convention, each passenger is entitled to a special drawing right (SDR has been withdrawn to 113100 euros, about 1.2 million yuan) since December 30, 2009. If the pilot hijacks the aircraft, the family members can also file a personal injury lawsuit, and Malaysia Airlines will pay more. In this way, 154 passengers were counted and the compensation was as high as 180 million yuan.
The amount of compensation for the families of the missing passengers on the Malaysia Airlines lost contact plane is a large amount for Malaysia Airlines, because according to the financial report of Malaysia Airlines, Malaysia Airlines has been losing money in the past three years, and the total amount should be about 7.7 billion yuan.
