Japanese Airlines ordered to compensate Indonesian villagers
An Indonesian court has ordered Japan Airlines to pay more than one million US dollars to farmers in villages struck by debris that fell from one its jets.
Judge Asep Iriawan told the airline to pay 55 families affected by the freak accident, but lawyers for JAL say they will appeal.
On September the fifth last year, a JAL Boeing 747 developed engine trouble shortly after taking off from Jakarta's Sukarno-Hatta International Airport en route to Tokyo.
Parts of the disintegrating engine fell on three villages, damaging houses, crops and plantations.
The Central Jakarta District Court awarded the sum as compensation for property damages and psychological suffering.
