International Air Carrier Liability brings together essential treaties and airline-to-airline agreements on air carrier liability, safety and security, and supplements these with expert commentary and analysis. The examination considers the general regulatory framework of international civil aviation (including the Chicago Convention and related documents) and how the liability regime fits within that framework. The book is divided into three parts: dealing in turn with liability, safety and security, and civil aviation regulation. Part I, for example, provides comment and analysis of the international air-carrier liability regime, how the main liability conventions operate, and the application of these conventions to international carriage by air (passengers, baggage and cargo). Given its subject matter and the universal state party participation in these conventions, this book has truly global application. David Hodgkinson and Rebecca Johnston aim to provide a reference aid for legal practitioners (at law firms, airlines, manufacturers, aviation-related corporations and government departments and agencies), as well as academics, students (undergraduate and post graduate) and government officials regarding treaties, domestic laws and documents concerned with these vital legal issues.

Liability and claims handling have always been at the focus of attention for many aviation lawyers, be it in private practice, with airlines or insurers, manufacturers, airport operators, national governments and international organisations or in academia. The European Air Law Association (EALA) organised a seminar in Munich which provide an opportunity to discuss all aspects of this area of the law.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (WIT Wildau), course: Aviation Law, language: English, abstract: Abstract: The developments of more than hundred years of aviation history have lead to a framework of laws on different aspects of the aviation industry. For the people aboard the flying aircraft, different rules are applied as compared on land. Within the field of aviation, the air is the major space touched. But because until the 20th century nobody was able to control an air vehicle, no conflicts erased for intra- or crossborder air traffic. This circumstance changed quickly. Only 16 years after the remarkable milestone of the first engine-powered flight by the Wright brothers from 1903, the growing importance of air travel lead to the first international agreements for air transport. When in 1919 the first scheduled air service between Paris and London came into operation, the necessity for air regulations was an incontrovertible fact. The first agreement was written down in the Paris Convention, which was held in the same year and ratified from 32 nations. The major result of the convention was the recognition of exclusive sovereignty for the states over their airspace, which is still the applied principle today. The agreement also included the first definition of the term aircraft and annexes for technical standards. Nowadays two distinct areas of air law can be differentiated. The international public air law is dealing with rights and obligations of nations in the field of civil aviation. The international private air law governs legal issues for private entities within international air transport, regulating mainly the relation between air carriers and private individuals and cargo shippers. This paper will focus on those aspects. It will give insights of the major milestones of private international air law like the Warsaw System created in 1929, analyze the necessities for the creation of the Montreal Convention of 1999 and give information on its content. Furthermore a special focus will be established on the liability regimes of the two conventions.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (Wildau Institute of Technology), course: Aviation Management - The Law of International Carriage by Air, language: English, abstract: The invention of aircraft is a magnificent piece of technology, which is a result of a long pro-cess of human effort. With the use aircraft for military purposes during World War I it was shown that aviation had great potential even in time of peace. The essential role of aviation industry in everyone’s life does not need any further explanation. Today's generations and those of the future have a quite natural interest in its development and safety. While flying offers various opportunities to mankind, at the same time, it is still a risky activity and acci-dents can be absolutely devastating. Even if aviation stands for one of the safest modes of transport, incidents will occur and people and airfreight will get damaged. The mentioned facts and the growing number and use of aircraft called for some kind of international regu-lation of aviation since from the very beginning (McNair 1964, p. 9). In general aviation is a global business, which creates a need for international common rules. Over the years there have been quite many attempts to hold an international convention on the area. It was from upmost importance to create an adequate and uniform compensation system for the passengers and cargo but at the same to protect the infant aviation industry (Paulsson 2009, p. 6). The subject of this paper is the regime of passenger liability in private international air law. This regime of liability is based on two global legal systems, represented by the ageing Warsaw System created from 1929 and the new Montreal Convention of 1999. The historical development and explanation of both systems, including their amendments and supplemen-tary instruments, acts as basis for this project paper. In a second step I am going to deduce the necessities for the creation of the Montreal Con-vention. Then I will go into detail of its achievements and deficiencies concerning passenger liability in private international air law. Finally the paper is closing with a short summery of the development of the general and in particular the legal liability issues of both main Conventions.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, course: Aviation Management Master, language: English, abstract: This 15 pages term paper deals with today's liability rules for passengers, cargo and baggage but also shows the historic development from almost no carrier liability to partly unlimited responsibility. This information is of utmost importance for people working in the aviation industry but also very benefitial for passengers in order to understand their rights. The paper also illustrates some European adjustments to the Montreal Conventions and gives an outlook of future liability relevance.
