Montreal Convention), Convention Suppelementary to the Warsaw Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air Performed by a Person other than the Contracting Carrier, Signed in Guadalajara on 18 September 1961(i.e. Guadalajara Convention), Convention on Damages Caused by Foreign Aircraft to Third Parties on the Surface (i.e. 1952 Rome Convention), Protocol to Amend the Convention on Damages Caused by Foreign Aircraft to Third Parties on the Surface(i.e. 1978 Rome Convention). Among the provisions of Chapter 6 Air Carrier of Commercial Code, this Paper shall focus on the limitation on liabilities of air carrier. For this purpose, firstly principal provisions on air carriers` liabilities in Montreal Convention and 1978 Rome Convention will be presented. Secondly, main provisions of Convention on Compensation for Damage to Third Parties, Resulting from Acts of Unlawful Interference Involving Aircraft(i. e. Unlawful Interference Convention) and Convention on Compensation for Damage Caused by Aircraft to Third Parties (i.e. General Risk Convention), which was adopted at Diplomatic Conference of International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal on May 2, 2009, in a bid to overcome the criticism of 1978 Rome convention, will be examined.
