UK‑based relatives of the victims deceased in the devastating June 12 Air India Flight AI 171 crash are reportedly preparing lawsuits against Air India and Boeing in British courts, seeking enhanced compensation. The London‑bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed moments after take‑off from Ahmedabad, killing 241 onboard and 34 on the ground. Families are consulting UK firm Keystone Law, with meetings set this week to finalise legal strategy. After the crash Tata announced ₹1 crore compensation per family, along with ₹25 lakh interim payments by Air India. Under the Montreal Convention, relatives can file claims in courts of victim‑linked jurisdictions. A final decision on proceedings awaits post‑meeting. (PC: The Week)
