International Aviation: Implications of Ratifying the Montreal Aviation Protocols

  Premium   Download PDF Now (20 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date June 19, 1990
Report No. T-RCED-90-83
Subject
Summary:

GAO discussed how the Montreal Aviation Protocols would affect the level and timeliness of compensation for victims of international aviation accidents and whether the protocols might also affect the safety of international air travel. GAO noted that: (1) the protocols would more fully compensate Americans for economic and non-economic losses because they increase the current limit on airline liability; (2) the protocols would provide for more timely restitution by not requiring claimants to prove fault and by furnishing incentives for airlines to settle claims quickly; (3) the protocols would increase the likelihood that Americans will be able to bring suit in U.S. courts, because they add the country where the passenger resides as a new basis of jurisdiction; (4) it is unlikely that ratification of the protocols will adversely affect airline safety; and (5) although the protocols will eliminate the civil litigation of fault, available evidence indicates that litigation has not affected airline safety.
