EgyptAir said Monday advance compensation payments of $25,000 will be offered to families of the 66 people killed when one of its planes crashed into the Mediterranean last month.
The payments are separate to those expected from insurance companies on behalf of various parties depending on the investigation into the disaster.
The Airbus A320 operating Flight MS804 from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar screens between the Greek island of Crete and the north coast of Egypt on May 19.
“An insurance company will pay an advance of $25,000 after each family prepares its certificate of inheritance,” said EgyptAir chairman Safwat Musallam.
“Death certificates will be ready before Thursday for Egyptians and foreigners,” he said.
