hemanagement of Lion Air has announced it will give Rp 55 million (US$5.661)in cash to every passenger on its aircraft that crash landed in the sea near NgurahRai International Airport in Bali last week.
Lion Air service airport manager Capt. Daniel Putut said the management had prepared Rp 5.5 billion ($566 million) to compensate the passengers.
'The company has allocated Rp 5.5 billion for all 101 passengers, meaning that each passenger will receive Rp 55 million,' Daniel said as quoted by tempo.co recently.
He said luggage compensation was included in the package.
Lion Air had already announced it would replace all passengers' lost luggage through allocating Rp 4 million per passenger, but recently said the figure would be raised to Rp 5 million per passenger.
He added in order to claim the compensation package, a passenger would only need to show his or her ID card. The management then would check and verify the data before distributing the package.
He said the compensation package disbursement would take several days.
'We will deliver the compensation package ourselves for those living outside Denpasar.'
The Lion Air airplane carrying 101 passengers and seven crew members crashed on Saturday. All passengers and cabin crew survived but 52 of them were hospitalized in several hospitals around Bali. (nai/dic)
