2015-06-30 12:54:09.625 GMT
Berlin (AP) -- A lawyer for relatives of people killed in
the Germanwings crash in March says parent company Lufthansa has
made a compensation offer.
Elmar Giemulla said in an emailed statement Tuesday that
the company is offering 25,000 euros ($27,740) in compensation
per passenger, plus payments of 10,000 euros each to immediate
relatives. He described that as "completely inadequate."
Prosecutors believe the Airbus A320 was intentionally
crashed into a French mountain by co-pilot Andreas Lubitz on
March 24, killing all 150 people on board Flight 9525 from
Barcelona to Duesseldorf.
Immediately after the crash, Lufthansa offered aid of up to
50,000 euros ($56,000) per passenger to their relatives,
independent of any eventual compensation payments.
