Sunday's plane crash victim to get Bt4.5 million compensation
Each victim of One-Two-Go flight that crashed on Sunday would receive compensation of US$130,000 (Bt4.5 million).
The conclusion was reached during the Wednesday meeting between Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen, Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongchaum, Transport Permanent Secretary Chaisawat Kittipornpaibul, Civil Aviation Department DirectorGeneral Chaisak Angsuwan and One-Two-Go CEO Khajit Hapnanont.
Theera said at the press conference after the meeting that the compensation figure was a result of One-Two-Go negotiation with the insurer.
He noted that for the injured passengers, the budget airline would initially handle compensations for all medical bills as well as expenses that their relatives shouldered while travelling down to Phuket.
"Though the insurer agrees to pay compensation of $130,000 for each victim, we're not quite satisfied with the figure. We are negotiating to raise the compensation to $150,000," Khajit said.
