Air France says it is set to pay initial compensation to the families of those killed in the Atlantic air crash on 1 June.
228 people died when a French plane crashed on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
Air France chief Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said a first payment of €17,000 would be made for each victim.
The cause of the crash is unknown and flight recorders have not been found.
Three Irish doctors and two Eastern European Aer Lingus workers were on the flight.
