Air Carriage Act: passengers to get more damages in case of death, flight delays
NEW DELHI, MAR 18 (IANS): Union cabinet has approved an amendment to the Carriage by Air Act which will enable the government to revise the liability limits of air carriers concerning injury and loss of baggage and cargo.
Official sources said on Wednesday that the decision taken by the cabinet at its meeting on Tuesday will benefit people travelling by air.
They said the liability limits were being revised as per the Montreal Convention.
Damage in case of death or bodily injury for each person was revised from 1,00,000 SDR (special drawing rights) to 1,13,100.
The liability for delay in carriage for each person has been raised from 4,150 SDR to 4,694 SDR. The liability in case of destruction, loss, damage or delay of baggage for each person has been raised from 1,000 SDR to 1,131 SDR.
The liability in case of destruction, loss or delay in relation to the carriage of cargo has been raised from 17 SDR to 19 SDR. Officials said the currency value of the SDR is determined by summing the values in US dollars, based on market exchange rates, of a basket of major currencies – the US dollar, Euro, Japanese yen and pound sterling.
