"ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised 

that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion 

entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in 

the United States of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the 

liability of 

[certain r 

[(name of carrier) and certain other] carriers parties to such special contracts for death of or personal injury to passengers is 

limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed US $75,000 per passenger, and that this liability up to such limrt shall not 

depend on negligence on the part of the carrier. For such passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or 

on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in lhe United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or 

personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases lo approximately US $10,000 or US $20,000. 

The names of Carriers parties to such special contracts are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be 

examined on request. 

Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not 

affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further 

information please consult your airiine or insurance company representative." 

3. [This Agreement was flied with the Civil Aeronautics Board of the United States. The Board approved it by Order E-23680, 

adopted May 13, 1966. The Agreement (Agreement18900) became effective May 16, 1966. On January 1. 1985. this Agreement 

became the responsibility of the Department of Transportation (DOT) by operation of law.) 

4. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts. all of which shall constitute one Agreement. Any Carrier may 

become a party to this Agreement by signing a counterpart hereof and depositing it with DOT. 

5. Any Carrier party hereto may withdraw from this Agreement by giving twelve (12) months' written notice of withdrawal to DOT
