　　Many more similar lawsuits are expected before a two-year filing deadline set by a globalaviation agreement.

　　在國際航空協(xié)議規(guī)定的兩年索賠期限到期之前，預計還將有更多乘客家屬提出索賠。

　　The 1999 Montreal Convention allows each next-of-kin of an air crash victim to claim up to113,100 special drawing rights (SDR), a mix of currency values established by theInternational Monetary Fund. The value - which changes regularly - currently equals to about$157,000. However, a plaintiff filing a lawsuit can seek more.

　　根據1999年蒙特利爾公約規(guī)定，空難受害者的每名直系親屬可以要求最高113100 SDR特別提款權的賠償。特別提款權是由國際貨幣基金組織根據多國貨幣價值所定的，它會定期改動，根據目前的標準，約相當于約15.7萬美元。不過，如果家屬以原告身分向法庭訴訟，則可以要求更多賠償。

　　根據衛(wèi)星通訊記錄顯示，該航班已經墜毀在印度洋，但是迄今未止，只在法屬留尼旺島上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一塊屬于這架客機的殘骸。
