Request for damages awarded to victims of Chinese nationality in the Air France AF447 crash of June 1, 2009 (Fr)

Research carried out by JIANG Yanwei, graduated with a law degree from the University of Wuhan in China and a master's degree in business law from the University Paris X in France, for the Law Firm Weissberg, lawyer at the court.

Introduction

On June 1, 2009 Flight AF447 of the French airline AIR France between Rio de Janeiro and Paris was damaged in the Atlantic Ocean.

It was carrying 228 people (including 216 passengers) while no sign of survival has been revealed until today.

Le rapport final du BEA (Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses pour la Sécurité de l’Aviation civile) publié le 5 juillet 2012 après la récupération et l’analyse des enregistreurs a conclu que la cause principale de l’accident serait un décrochage en haute altitude consécutif à une perte des indications de vitesse par givrage des sondes Pitot, ayant induit une réaction inappropriée des pilotes.

Table of victims

Among all the victims, there were 9 Chinese citizens, for each of whom compensation of 126,000 euros was paid to their families. Here is a list of these 9 Chinese passengers, their contact details, and the amount of compensation they received:
