In hopes it will not become a precedent for the scores of cases still pending, Lviv Air will appeal the $3.2 million decision
13 million drachmas ($1.6 million) to each of the families of two victims of a 1997 crash, Uatoday reported.
The court issued its decision on Tuesday and it was made available to the press on Wednesday, Reuters reported.
The Yakovlev-42 airplane, chartered by AeroSvit, crashed into Mount Olympus, while trying to land in Saloniki. AeroSvit also faces suits from families.
All 62 passengers and eight crew members died in the crash.
The court decision was based on the findings of the Greek Transport Ministry, which said radio navigation system had been out of order, and found the crew negligent.
The decision could serve as a precedent for the scores of remaining suits from victims' families that may take up to three years to make their way through courts.
The Yak-42 was en route from Kyiv to the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki and vanished from radar screens shortly before landing. Hundreds of rescue workers and soldiers spent almost a week to locate the wreckage.
