JAKARTA (XFN-ASIA) - Airliner Adam Air will pay 500 mln rupiah compensation for each passenger on its plane that vanished three weeks ago carrying 102 people, a company executive said.
"All passengers are insured, but as a show of our sympathy we have decided to give compensation of 500 million rupiah per passenger, to be given to their respective legal heirs," Adam Air president Adam Aditya Suherman told legislators here according to the Detikcom news portal.
The compensation would be paid in addition to the insurance money, he said. Anyone claiming the money would have to provide a court document declaring them to be the legal heir of the missing passenger, Suherman said.
A company spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.
The Adam Air Boeing 737-400 carrying 96 passengers and six crew vanished off the coast of Sulawesi island on Jan 1.
Efforts to locate the aircraft have so far only turned up small pieces of debris.
