It was a tragic day in Ahmedabad as an Air India flight carrying 242 passengers and 12 crew members crashed soon after takeoff from the Ahmedabad International Airport. The devastating incident claimed the lives of 270 people, including 241 passengers on board. In light of this heartbreaking event, Air India has announced that they will be providing interim payments of Rs 25 lakh to the families of the deceased and the survivors.
This is in addition to the Rs 1 crore compensation that has already been announced by the parent company, Tata Sons. Air India CEO and managing director, Campbell Wilson, expressed his condolences and explained that the interim payment is to provide immediate financial support to the affected families. He also mentioned that the families will have access to trained caregivers and counseling services to help them cope with their loss.
Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran had previously announced that the Group will also be providing Rs 1 crore to the families of each person who lost their life in the crash. Campbell confirmed that over 200 trained caregivers are in place and each family will be assigned dedicated assistance. The process of reuniting the families with their loved ones and personal belongings has already begun.
Campbell also mentioned that Air India is working closely with the authorities to complete precautionary safety checks on their Boeing 787 aircraft, as directed by the DGCA. He assured that they will complete all checks within the given timeline and that the authorities have confirmed this. The aircraft's data recorder has also been recovered and will be used as part of the official investigation. Air India will continue to fully cooperate with the investigations.
This tragic incident has left a deep impact on everyone and Air India is doing everything in their power to support the affected families. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.
