FRANKFURT--Deutsche Lufthansa AG will pay out an initial sum of
50,000 euros (about $54,000) per person to the relatives of
passengers on the Germanwings Flight 9525 that crashed in the
French Alps earlier this week, the Lufthansa unit said Friday.
"Of course we can't compensate materially for the lives of those
lost, but we wanted to provide some immediate financial help to the
affected families," a Germanwings spokeswoman said.
Germanwings said the payments wouldn't affect potential further
claims made by the families.
