Airport Transport Agreement for International Flights

2.5 The Carrier reserves the right to refuse carriage on a segment of the itinerary booked by the Passenger without restriction if the associated fare has not been paid in whole or in part, if the method of payment used by the Passenger has been refused, revoked or declared invalid or if the Ticket has been purchased by means contrary to law. Since 1992, the Department has pursued an “open skies” policy aimed at eliminating government involvement in airline decision-making regarding routes, capacity and prices in international markets. The Open Skies agreements also include provisions on trade opportunities, security and protection. The United States has negotiated open skies agreements with more than 100 aviation partners. 2.3 If the Carrier issues a Carriage Ticket on segments operated by another Carrier, the Carrier will only act as an agent on behalf of the latter. An air transport agreement (sometimes referred to as an air transport agreement or ATA or ASA) is a bilateral agreement that allows international commercial air services between signatories. In most cases, air services are excluded from U.S. trade agreements. When air services are included, their coverage is very limited. In these cases, the Bureau of International Aviation works with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Department of State to ensure that these regulations are consistent with U.S. aviation policy.

In the General Agreement on Tariffs for Services (GATS), the Air Transport Annex expressly limits the coverage of air services to aircraft repair and maintenance, computerized reservation systems, and the sale and marketing of air transport. Under our bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), aviation service coverage is limited to aircraft repair and maintenance as well as specialized air services.

In the event that the baggage is damaged during transport or if the delivery of the baggage is delayed, a claim must be submitted in writing immediately after the discovery of the damage or within the time limit set by the applicable legislation, whether for domestic or international flights. For the purposes of the preceding paragraph, “delay” means any delayed arrival of baggage for which the Carrier is directly responsible. 3.2 In order to ensure the safety of the flight and to comply with the applicable regulations, the Carrier and the airport security personnel may confiscate the dangerous objects and substances carried on the passenger`s person or in his hand luggage in order to hand them over to the competent authorities in accordance with the applicable local regulations. 4.1 If a passenger`s journey begins and ends in the same country, the carriage service and limitations of liability are subject to the applicable legislation of the relevant country. If the passenger`s journey is international, the Warsaw Convention, the Montreal Convention or other applicable international regulations may apply. These conventions and regulations govern, where applicable, the Carrier`s limitations of liability in the event of the Passenger`s death or personal injury and flight delays or cancellations, as well as loss, delay or damage to Baggage. 3.3 A limited number of medicines and beauty products may be carried by passengers.

Before placing them in his luggage, the passenger must report these items to the carrier`s staff. Desiring to ensure the highest level of safety in international air transport, and reaffirming its grave concern at acts or threats to the safety of aircraft that endanger the safety of persons or property, impair the operation of air transport and undermine public confidence in the safety of civil aviation, and 2.1 The issuance of the ticket confirms the approval and acceptance of the conditions of the Carriage by Air and the contract of carriage between the Passenger and the Carrier whose names appear on the Ticket. The ticket issued in the passenger`s name is personal and non-transferable. It may be issued in whole or in part in printed form or in the form of an electronic ticket. 1.3 The term “Warsaw Convention” means the Convention signed at Warsaw in 1929 for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air and the amendments thereto introduced by the 1955 Hague Protocol and the 1975 Montreal Protocols. Desiring to promote an international air transport system based on competition between airlines on the market with a minimum of State intervention and regulation, 4.2 The carrier declares that, in the case of carriage governed by the Warsaw Convention, it will not invoke the limits of civil liability for damage prescribed in Article 22, paragraph 1, resulting from death or personal injury. For these types of claims, the Carrier shall not use the objections referred to in Article 20(1) of the Warsaw Convention for claims not exceeding 100,000 SDRs. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Carrier may use the other defensive measures set forth in the Warsaw Convention and reasonable resources against third parties.
