AirAsia Indonesia has officially handed over a Rp 1.25 billion (US$97,987) insurance claim to a victim of flight QZ8501 while 24 other families have received Rp 300 million each as accident insurance.
Executive head of non-bank financial industry monitoring at the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Firdaus Djaelani, said there were 131 others who had not yet received compensation for various reasons.
Firdaus said the claim value was Rp 1.25 billion per passenger according to Ministerial Regulation No. 77/2011 on flights.
“I have read the regulation myself,” he said in Surabaya on Friday.
Meanwhile, PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Jasindo) president director Budi Tjahjono said that for non-Indonesian passengers, the insurance claim was $175,000 per person as stipulated in the Montreal Convention.
Jasindo, according to Budi, is currently calculating the insurance value of the aircraft itself, which is estimated to be $46 million.
AirAsia Indonesia’s legal and compliance head Yudha Dewangga Kusuma said his office had prepared special assistants to help victims’ families with insurance claims.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that two people who were knowledgeable about ongoing investigations said the pilots had cut power to a critical computer system that normally prevents planes from going out of control shortly before it plunged into the Java Sea.
That decision appears to have helped trigger the events of Dec. 28, when the plane climbed so abruptly that it lost lift and it began falling with warnings blaring in the cockpit, the informants said.
The pilots had been attempting to deal with alerts about the flight augmentation computers, which control the plane’s rudder and also automatically prevent it from going too slow.
As the search for bodies continues, two more suspected passengers were found in Majene waters, West Sulawesi, on Friday, raising the number of bodies recovered in that area to six.
Four bodies had been sent to Surabaya, East Java, for identification. The other two were still on their way to Bhayangkara Hospital in Makassar, South Sulawesi, as of Friday, to be put in caskets and flown to Surabaya on Saturday.
The two bodies, which were no longer intact, were found on Friday in two different locations. One was found by a local around midnight on a beach in Palipi Soreang subdistrict, Banggae district, Majene.
