A Canadian court ruled Monday that Ukrainian International Airlines must pay compensation to the families of those killed in the downing of its airline over Iran in January 2020.
“This verdict sends a strong message to international airlines that they must put the safety of their passengers first,” said Paul Miller, a partner at Toronto-based Howie Sacks & Henry, one of the firms representing the families.
