Air India Disaster: Families of Victims Receive Euro Thousands
Airline Company Compensates Relatives of Aircraft Accident Casualties
After the heart-wrenching crash of one of its planes, Air India stepped up and promised immediate financial aid to the grieving families. They announced that each family would receive approximately 25,000 euros (250,000 Indian rupees) to help manage their urgent financial needs [1][2]. The sole survivor among the 242 souls on board will also receive this sum, along with an additional 100,570 euros from the parent company, Tata Group.
As per reports from NDTV and other Indian media outlets, the disaster claimed at least 270 lives. Though no official death toll has been released by the government, local authorities in Ahmedabad confirmed that the exact death count has yet to be determined due to the difficulty in identifying body parts found at the tragedy site [3]. Many bodies, unfortunately, were charred beyond recognition. As of now, the status of several people remains unknown. No official reports on missing or injured individuals have been disclosed.
On June 13, 2025, the Boeing 787-8 flight AI-171 collided with a student dormitory of the city's BJ Medical College campus before crashing into a residential area near the takeoff point from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The ill-fated plane was bound for London when disaster struck [4]. The crash resulted in the untimely demise of 241 individuals on board, while a British passenger miraculously survived.
A committee led by the Ministry of Home Affairs has been established to investigate the root cause of the crash and recommend preventive measures to avoid such catastrophes in the future. The committee is composed of representatives from various independent authorities, each tasked with unraveling the mystery behind this tragic event [5].
