More than 70 passengers aboard an Asiana Airlines flight that crashed in San Francisco two years ago and killed three of the 141 Chinese citizens on board have reached a settlement in their lawsuits against the airline, attorneys for the passengers and airline said in a court filing on Tuesday.
The settlement with 72 passengers who filed personal-injury claims also includes Boeing Co, which made the airplane, and Air Cruisers Co, the New Jersey company that made its evacuation slides.
The filing did not include the settlement's financial terms, and plaintiffs attorney Frank Pitre said those details are confidential.
