Beijing, China: A Beijing court ordered Malaysia Airlines on Monday to pay compensation to the families of eight passengers from flight MH370, more than a decade after the plane disappeared.
The Chaoyang District People's Court said in a statement that 47 other lawsuits had been withdrawn, after the families settled outside of court with Malaysia Airlines and its international arm, Malaysia Airlines International.
The court said that the compensation ruled on Friday was to cover funeral expenses, emotional distress, and other losses, with each family to receive over 2.9 million yuan ($410,000).
The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people vanished from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Despite the largest search in aviation history, the plane has not been found.
