Montreal Agreement

Read a random definition: undistributed profit

A quick definition of Montreal Agreement:

The Montreal Agreement is a special agreement that most airlines have signed. It means that if something bad happens to a passenger, like getting hurt or even dying, the airline can't use excuses to avoid paying for it. Instead, they have to pay up to $75,000 for each passenger. This agreement only applies to flights that start, stop, or end in the United States.

A more thorough explanation:

The Montreal Agreement is a private agreement signed by most international airlines. It waives the limitation on liability for death and personal injury cases set by the Warsaw Convention, which is currently about $20,000. It also raises the liability limit per passenger to $75,000 and provides for absolute liability on the part of the carrier for all flights originating, stopping, or terminating in the United States.

For example, if a passenger is injured or killed during a flight that originates, stops, or terminates in the United States, the airline is absolutely liable for the damages up to $75,000 per passenger. This means that the airline cannot use due-care defenses to avoid liability.

The Montreal Agreement was the result of negotiations in 1965 and 1966 following the United States' denunciation of the Warsaw Convention. The United States denounced the convention primarily because of its low liability limits, which were seen as inadequate to compensate passengers for injuries or deaths resulting from air travel.
