Order

The proposed Notice establishes a neutral ticket notice designed for worldwide use that reflects carrier liability limitations for passenger deaths and injuries, and for baggage, under the Montreal Convention which came into effect November 4, 2003. It also contains a Notice of limitations applicable under the 1929 Warsaw Convention, and the Warsaw Convention as amended by the 1955 Hague Protocol. Further notice is given that European Community regulations require application of the Montreal Convention limits by EC carriers with respect to all carriage of passengers and baggage by air, and that many non-EC carriers have similarly elected to do so. Notice is further given that many carriers have voluntarily waived in their entirety the 1929 Warsaw and 1955 Hague limits for passenger injuries or death. and that, if either of these conventions applies, U.S. regulations require that, for journeys to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the United States, the limit for passenger injuries or death may not be less than $75,000.
