Are foreign carriers required to provide the same support to families of aviation accident victims as U.S. carriers?
Yes. The Foreign Air Carrier Family Support Act of 1997 extends the same relief to victims' families that is mandated by the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996. This support includes counseling, lodging near the accident site, frequent updates on the investigation, return of found personal items, memorial services and more. The NTSB provides information about its services to families and friends of victims.
