Montreal Convention

The Montreal Convention is an international treaty that governs air travel and the rights of passengers and airlines. Established in 1999, it aims to simplify and unify regulations regarding baggage delays, lost luggage, and injuries during flights. The convention sets liability limits for airlines in case of accidents and improves compensation for travelers. It replaces older agreements and offers clearer protections for passengers, making it easier to claim compensation for issues that arise during international flights. Essentially, it ensures fairness and accountability in air transport across member countries.
