Air Travel

This page provides links to the International Laws relating to air travel - from personal injury to travel delay and baggage loss. It includes a link to the UK domestic law which implements International Law into the United Kingdom territory

Montreal Convention - Air Travel International Law

This page describes the workings of the Montreal Convention which is the main international law for air travel. The Montreal convention deals with death or injury to passengers, delay and baggage (loss damage or delay). Remember if you suffer an injury whist travelling by air internationally the Montreal convention only allows you 2 years to start an accident claim. http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=306&pagetype=90&pageid=5298
