International Conventions - Carriage
of Goods by Air

In relation to carriage
of goods by air, the relevant international conventions are the Warsaw Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International
Carriage by Air 1929 (the “ Warsaw Convention”) and the Montreal Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International
Carriage by Air 1999 (the “ Montreal Convention”).

The Warsaw Convention

The Warsaw Convention
was an international convention which regulates liability for international carriage of persons, luggage or goods performed by aircraft
for reward. It was originally signed in 1929 in Warsaw and was amended in 1955 by the Hague Protocol (the “ Amended Warsaw Convention”).
Hong Kong still applies the Amended Warsaw Convention to international air carriages with countries that have adopted the Amended Warsaw
Convention but not the Montreal Convention.

The Montreal Convention
and the Carriage by Air Ordinance

The Montreal Convention
was designed to establish worldwide uniformity in liability rules governing air carriage of person, baggage and cargo for compensation
between two countries which are parties to it. Hong Kong ratified the Montreal Convention on 15 December 2006. The Montreal Convention
was put into force in Hong Kong under the Carriage by Air Ordinance (Chapter 500 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “ CAO”).
