Bring Air Passenger Accident Compensation up to International Levels

I urge the Federal government to act immediately to ratify the Montréal 1999 Convention. Failure to ratify the treaty means that injury and death compensation limits last reviewed in 1996 still apply.

The Montreal Convention - which limits the amount of compensation payable to the extent of a passenger’s injuries unless the airline proves that it was not at fault in the accident - is fair and reasonable. It has been ratified by 86 other nations, including the US in 2005, and it is now time for Australia to follow suit.

Yours faithfully,
