MH370 mystery: Beijing court orders Malaysia Airlines to compensate families of 8 passengers; 23 other cases remain pending

A Beijing court has ordered Malaysia Airlines to pay compensation to the families of eight passengers from flight MH370, more than a decade after the plane vanished. The Chaoyang District People’s Court said 47 other lawsuits were withdrawn after the families reached out-of-court settlements with Malaysia Airlines and its international arm.

The court ruled on Friday that each family would receive over 2.9 million yuan ($410,000) to cover funeral expenses, emotional distress, and other losses.
