Lufthansa has put aside an additional $300 million to cover possible costs from last week’s Germanwings crash.
The carrier, which owns Germanwings, said the money would cover "all costs arising in connection with the case".
A spokesperson for Lufthansa said the company’s insurers had already set aside the funds, with the majority being spent on financial compensation for relatives of those killed.
Earlier this week, Lufthansa announced it would pay an initial sum of $54,000 to relatives of passengers killed on the flight.
Last week, a French public prosecutor reported that ‘Black box’ recordings indicate the co-pilot deliberately crashed the aircraft, after locking the captain out of the cockpit.
The airline confirmed the co-pilot of the crashed Germanwings passenger plane informed a Lufthansa flight school in 2009 that he had experienced “a serious depressive episode”.
In the medical documents he submitted in connection with resuming his flight training, he informed them about a “previous episode of severe depression”, Lufthansa said.
“Lufthansa will continue to provide the investigating authorities with its full and unlimited support.
“As already confirmed last Thursday to the public the co-pilot held a fully valid class 1 medical certificate.”
Lufthansa also announced on Tuesday that it had cancelled plans to celebrate its 60th anniversary on 15 April.
