Boeing to pay 737 MAX crash families $144,500 each

Families who lost relatives in fatal Boeing 737 Max airplane crashes are set to receive about $144,500 (£116,200) each from the company.

The money comes from a $50m financial assistance fund, which Boeing announced in July.

The fund has started accepting claims, which must be submitted before 2020.

Lawyers for the victims' families, many of whom are pursuing the company in court, have dismissed the fund as a publicity stunt.
