Legal framework of the Montreal Convention
Passenger's rights against the Carrier in the event of a cancelled flight, an overbooking or a cancellation involving international carriage are, in most cases, governed by an international convention known as the Montreal Convention. {$Transat.Blanklink.Web.Accessibility$}
Article 19 of this Convention provides that an air carrier is liable for damages caused by delay in the carriage of passengers and cargo, unless such air carrier proves that it has done everything that could reasonably be expected to avoid such damages.
Therefore, each claim for compensation for flight disruption will be considered on a case-by-case basis in compliance with this legal standard.
