Air India Crash: Insurance Premiums to Spike Up to 30%
After the Air India plane crash, it might cost airlines more to get insurance.
Insurance companies think that the price of insurance for planes could jump by up to 30%.
This is because the crash was so serious, and many people died.
The crash happened in Ahmedabad.
The insurance companies will have to pay out a lot of money, around $475 million.
Because this crash was very bad, the rise in insurance costs might be bigger than usual.
Other plane crashes have also caused prices to go up.
In the past few years, insurance companies have paid out billions of dollars for plane accidents.
Insurance premiums for airlines are expected to rise by up to 30% following the Air India crash.
The Air India crash, which occurred on June 12 in Ahmedabad, is considered the deadliest in over a decade.
Insurance claims from the crash are estimated to reach approximately $475 million.
The increase in premiums could be larger than those following the South Korea crash.
Global aviation claims totaled $15 billion in the five years leading up to 2024.
