Regulatory management of the Warsaw system of air carrier liability

R.I.R. Abeyratne

Journal of Air Transport Management, 1997, vol. 3, issue 1, 37-45

Abstract: This article focuses on the 67 year old Warsaw Convention on private liability of air carriers and the Warsaw System which comprises the Convention itself and the subsequent Hague, Guatemala City and Montreal Protocols 3 and 4, all of which have attempted to manage the system of private liability in conformity with changes in socio-commercial circumstances. It also traces regional developments in this area of liability with a view to assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the various measures that have so far been taken. Against this backdrop, the latest innovations of the Japanese proposal and the 1995 IATA Intercarrier Agreement are analyzed in order to assess their credibility as management tools. The various stratagems and elements that now need to be considered in the management of this complex area of liability are also discussed.
