The plane was headed for London’s Gatwick Airport in the United Kingdom with 242 people on board.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the owners of Air India, Tata Sons, shared how much each family would receive as compensation.
The owners would offer around £86,000 - or 10 million rupees - to the families of those who were killed in the crash.
Authorities had feared that all 242 passengers onboard were dead, but miraculously, a British man survived the tragic crash.
Authorities confirmed that Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, seated in 11A, was the only survivor of the catastrophic disaster.
The 40-year-old British national, who has lived in the UK for 20 years, was returning after visiting family in India.
His younger brother, Nayan Kumar Ramesh, 27, expressed disbelief at the news.
“We were just shocked as soon as we heard it… He said: ‘I have no idea how I exited the plane.’”
An Indian man, Arjun Patoliya, who went to India for his wife’s burial rites, died in a tragic Air India flight that killed 241 passengers on board.
The father of two, based in the United Kingdom, lost his wife, Bharatiben, a few days before his tragic death.
His wife’s dying wish was for him to return to India and scatter her ashes in a local river at a village in Gujarat.
Keeping to his wife’s promise, he visited the village to hold his wife’s burial rites with some relatives in his village after spreading her ashes in a local river.
On his way back to the UK to meet his children, aged four and eight, he was involved in the fatal crash, leaving his daughters as orphans.
