Air France to Pay Compensation to Families of Flight 447 Victims

Air France has said it is prepared to make compensation payments to the families of those victims who died in the June 1 crash of Flight 447 over the Atlantic Ocean.

According to Pierre-Henri Gourgeon, chief of Air France, the airline would make a first payment of $24,000 for each of the 228 people who died in the crash. There has been no word on future payments Air France plans to make.

Investigators are still trying to determine what brought the Airbus A330 down but it is believed the aircraft broke-up while still in flight. Search crews have located several hundred pieces of the flight and have recovered 50 bodies.
