The Warsaw Convention is a 1929 agreement that limits the liability of airlines in the event of "accidents" on international flights. In 1966, the top limit was increase to $75,000. This limit does not apply in the event of the airline's "willful misconduct".

The Montreal Agreement is an added annexure to the same.

DID U KNOW THIS:

In tests conducted by the FAA in the summer of 1994, it was determined that children over the age of 3 or 3-1/2 are safer if they are belted in an adult seat belt. Children who are small enough to be seated in a rear-facing infant seat (usually under 20 pounds) should be in such a seat. The alternative for these children is usually on an adult's lap. While this saves the expense of ticketing a small child, it is clearly the least safe alternative. Forward-facing seats for children who are too big for a rear-facing seat, but too small for an adult seat belt were not found to provide significant protection.

When we are speaking of AVIATION LAW can the NTSB be far behind

What is the ntsb?



The National Transportation Safety Board ("NTSB") is an independent federal agency charged with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States. Its jurisdiction also includes trains and other vehicle accidents as well. The NTSB also issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. The NTSB maintains the government's database on civil aviation accidents and conducts special studies of transportation safety issues of national significance. The NTSB also provides investigators to serve as U.S. representatives in aviation accidents overseas involving U.S. - registered aircraft, aircraft or major components of U.S. manufacturers or where requested by foreign governments.
