What is the Montreal Convention and when does it apply?

The Montreal Convention (MC) is an international treaty, signed by almost all the countries in the world, which gives rights to air passengers who have flown on an international flight.

It applies to:

• Passengers on international flights (and some domestic flights)

• Loss, damage or delay to baggage while in the charge of the airline. This will cover periods it is in the hands of ground handlers

• Delay to passengers

• Death or injury to passengers
