COMPENSATION AS A GUARANTEE MECHANISM FOR PASSENGER RIGHTS IN THE AIR TRANSPORT CONTRACT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Air transport has become the fastest means of connecting countries, contributing to the growth of trade and cultural exchange between nations. However, it is essential to acknowledge that this mode of transport is fraught with risks that may lead to bodily or material damages affecting passengers. Such incidents raise the issue of air carrier liability, prompting both international and national legal systems to adopt protective policies ensuring that injured passengers receive adequate compensation for their losses. This approach has been implemented through international conventions and domestic legislation, including those adopted by the Algerian legislator.
