Montreal Convention's Role in Air India Crash Compensation

Montreal Convention's Role in Air India Crash Compensation

After the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which killed over 250 people, the Montreal Convention becomes important.

This international agreement sets rules for how airlines pay compensation when there's an accident on international flights.

It covers things like injuries, delays, and lost luggage.

Because both India and the UK are part of the agreement, the amount the families of the victims receive will be based on the Montreal Convention's rules.

The airline has already offered some money, but the full amount will depend on the Convention.
