The aim of the study is to present the principles of civil liability for damage caused to a passenger for which an air carrier is responsible, regulated by the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions, and the norms of national law providing issues that are not included in international law acts. The paper presents a historical overview of the applicable Conventions. The provisions of the Polish Civil Code that are useful for interpretation of law institutions and complement the legal norms contained in the Conventions are also presented. The compiled issues put the legal norms contained in various law systems in order by indicating the practical dimension of the pursuit of potential claims by passengers vis-à-vis air carriers. This is followed by a discussion of the grounds for excluding third party liability of an air carrier in case of excessive or illegitimate claims of the carrier’s clients, and of the insurer.
