If the courts got involved, that total could reach 750 million dollars, but it could take years for such a large sum to be approved.
The 216 passengers were insured through Air France. For the 12 crew members, the crash on June 1 into the chilly Atlantic waters off of Brazil is considered a work-related accident, Le Monde reported.
For the loss of the Airbus 330-200, pieces of which are strewn for miles across the ocean, Air France is to receive 67.4 million euros (94.5 million dollars).
The question of which insurance company will pay the damages will only be decided after the investigation into what caused the accident. To date, 44 bodies have been found.
