The Montreal Convention

The Montreal Convention is an international agreement that sets rules for airline responsibility when passengers, luggage, or goods are harmed or lost during international flights. It makes airlines liable for damages caused by delays, injuries, or lost baggage, with certain limits. The convention also establishes standardized procedures for claiming compensation and streamlines legal processes across countries. Its goal is to protect travelers and improve safety and fairness in international air travel, ensuring consistent rules regardless of the airline or country involved.
