Carriage by Air Act

The Carriage by Air Act is a law that governs the rights and responsibilities of airlines and passengers regarding air travel. It sets rules for liability in case of accidents, delays, lost luggage, and injuries during flights. The Act incorporates international agreements, such as the Montreal Convention, to standardize compensation limits and procedures for claims. Essentially, it helps protect travelers by ensuring they are compensated fairly for issues experienced during their journey, while also outlining the airline's obligations. This framework aims to enhance safety and accountability within the aviation industry.
