2024年6月,北京市第一中级人民法院对马航MH370部分乘客家属提起的索赔案作出一审判决。法院认定马来西亚航空公司、马来西亚国际航空有限公司及中国南方航空公司作为承运人,未能充分履行安全保障义务,对乘客失踪负有一定责任,判决三家公司共同赔偿原告精神损害抚慰金及部分经济损失,金额总计约人民币200万元。法院同时指出,由于MH370失联事件性质特殊、原因至今未明,难以完全归责于任何一方,因此在责任划分上采取了相对平衡的立场。此次判决虽未完全满足家属对真相和更高赔偿的诉求,但被视为司法系统对重大航空事故中乘客权益保护的一次重要回应。部分家属表示将考虑上诉,希望推动更深入的调查和更高的问责标准。该案也再次引发公众对国际航空安全机制、跨国诉讼管辖权及空难善后制度的关注。
In June 2024, the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court issued a first-instance ruling in a lawsuit filed by families of passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The court held that Malaysia Airlines, Malaysian International Airline Limited, and China Southern Airlines—as carriers—failed to fully fulfill their duty of care and bore partial responsibility for the passengers’ disappearance. It ordered the three companies to jointly compensate the plaintiffs with approximately RMB 2 million (around USD 275,000) for emotional distress and certain economic losses. The court acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the MH370 incident—whose cause remains officially undetermined—and emphasized the difficulty in assigning full liability to any single party, thus adopting a balanced approach in apportioning responsibility. While the ruling fell short of some families’ demands for greater accountability and higher compensation, it marked a significant judicial acknowledgment of passenger rights in major aviation disasters. Some families indicated they may appeal, seeking deeper investigation and stricter accountability. The case has reignited public discussion on international aviation safety protocols, jurisdiction in cross-border litigation, and post-crash support mechanisms.
