SUMMARY REGARDING THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SAUDIA WITH REGARD TO PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE

1. This informative notice transcribes the ANNEX contained in the European Council Regulation EC Nº 2027/97, modified by Regulation EC No 889/2002, which summarizes the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention.
2. Please note that this summary cannot be used as a basis for a claim for compensation, or as a basis to interpret the provisions of any applicable instrument of international or national law.
3. Compensation in the case of death or injury: SAUDIA will be liable for passenger injury or death resulting from an accident which occurs onboard a SAUDIA Aircraft or during any of the operations of embarkation or disembarkation; no financial limits apply to that liability.
4. Where damages have been proved SAUDIA will agree to the liability for passenger injury or death and will not contest claims for compensation for damages up to 100,000 SDRs (Special Drawing Rights), and up to 128,821 SDR’s where the Montreal Convention is applicable. Above that amount, SAUDIA can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault.
5. Advance payments: If a passenger is killed or injured, SAUDIA must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs (Special Drawing Rights).
6. Passenger delays: In case of passenger delay, SAUDIA is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 5,346 SDRs (Special Drawing Rights).(*)

10. For any baggage inquiries, please visit the following pages (Baggage allowances / Hand baggage / Lost or Mishandled Baggage / Special baggage / Baggage Awareness Campaign).
11. Liability of contracting and actual carriers: If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.
12. Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived.
13. Basis for the information: The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No 889/2002) and national legislation of the Member States.
14. (*) This deals with an individual passenger’s right to initiate judicial proceedings with a view to obtaining compensation for any damages resulting from a delay. Evidence of such damage and the air carrier’s liability for this must be provided.

ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Passengers embarking upon a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that the provisions of an international treaty (the Warsaw Convention, the 1999 Montreal Convention, or other treaty), as well as a carrier’s own contract of carriage or tariff provisions, may be applicable to their entire journey, including any portion entirely within the countries of departure and destination. The applicable treaty governs and may limit the liability of carriers to passengers for death or personal injury, destruction or loss of, or damage to, baggage, and for delay of passengers and baggage.

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 an international treaty.

For further information, please consult your airline or insurance company representative.
