Montreal Convention

“The Montreal Convention is an international treaty that governs airline liability for passenger death, injury, and baggage loss during international air travel, establishing compensation limits and carrier responsibilities.”

This treaty replaced the Warsaw Convention in 1999 and applies to flights between countries that have ratified the agreement. It sets strict liability limits for airlines and defines when carriers can be held responsible for passenger harm.

Under the Montreal Convention, airlines face automatic liability for damages up to approximately $175,000 per passenger, with higher compensation possible when carrier negligence is proven. The treaty also establishes jurisdiction rules for where lawsuits can be filed.
