Dubai: At least 10 Indian families based in the UAE are planning to seek compensation from Air India over the Mangalore plane crash that left 158 people dead in 2010.
They are preparing to file a case within two weeks as they will lose their legal right for compensation by the end of next month, The National newspaper reported.
The announcement to this effect comes ahead of the second anniversary of the accident.
The Mangalore Air Crash Victims' Association has urged families to file claims without delay since the Montreal Convention sets a two-year time limit for any claim.
"We will be filing the papers soon. No money will compensate what we have suffered and what we imagined for our future with our family," said Santosh Rai, an Abu Dhabi resident who lost his wife, 10-year-old son and nine-month-old daughter in the accident.
