Abstract
The principle of unlimited liability of the air carrier is summed up in its content by obligating the air carrier to pay compensation equal to the true value of the damages caused to the passenger, baggage or goods carried by the aircraft, and exceeding the maximum limits for compensation amounts decided by the Convention - the authors of the Warsaw Convention made this principle an exception to the principle of non-responsibility The limited liability does not rise except in specific exceptional cases that require stricter liability, and the Warsaw Convention also permitted the tightening of the air carrier’s liability by agreement between the carrier and the passenger or the sender according to what is known as the declaration of interest by delivery, with regard to the passenger’s luggage or the goods that the plane handles. And after approving the Montreal Agreement signed on May 28, 1999, known as the Montreal Agreement regarding the unification of some rulesfor air transport, this agreement adopted the principle of limited liability for the air carrier
