Beijing Court Orders Malaysia Airlines to Pay $3.3M to MH370 Families

  • A Chinese court ordered Malaysia Airlines to pay 2.9 million yuan (approx. $410,240) per case to families of missing MH370 passengers.
  • The ruling by Beijing's Chaoyang District Intermediary Court provides a partial legal conclusion for families after a 10-year wait.
  • The proceedings involved Malaysia Airlines, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, and Allianz insurance group.
  • Families, despite the compensation, continue to seek truth about the disappearance and a renewed search for the missing Boeing 777.
