4. International Notice – Limitation of Liability

If your trip has a destination or stop in another country other than the one from which you depart, a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may govern the liability of all airlines involved in your trip and may limit the amount of damages that can be recovered for your death or injury. These limits can be as low as US$10,000. However, many airlines have voluntarily agreed to waive those limits (in whole or in part).

Our Airline will not rely on the limitation in Article 22 (1) of the Warsaw Convention of the Warsaw Convention as amended ad The Hague for any claim for recoverable compensatory damages arising under Article 17 of that Convention.

Our Airline will not rely on any defence under Article 20 (1) of the Convention for that part of any claim for recoverable compensatory damages arising under Article 17 of the Convention that does not exceed 260,000 Special Drawings Rights. Otherwise Our Airline will rely on all other defences under the Convention.

In addition, in cases of death or bodily injury, if required by law, Our Airline will make advance payments to the person entitled to compensation, if required to meet immediate economic needs, in proportion to the hardship suffered.

Liability for loss, delay or damage is limited to about US$20 per kilo for checked baggage.

When a Refund is Available

(a) Except where prohibited by restrictions on the fare type or value, if you:

  • have a valid, partly or wholly unused ticket, and
  • surrender all of that ticket to us
  • then on request, we will provide a refund provided that the purchase price paid for the fare exceeds our reasonably incurred administration costs.

    (b) Additionally, if we:

    • are unable to carry you and you have a confirmed reservation
    • delay your flight to the extent that you have to cancel your travel
    • make a significant change to the scheduled flight time, which is not acceptable to you and we are unable to book you on an alternative flight which is acceptable to you
    • downgrade you from the class paid for
    • fail to stop at a stopover or the destination specified on your ticket
    • cancel your flight
    then on request, we will provide an appropriate refund, which shall, except as otherwise provided in these Conditions of Carriage, be the maximum extent of our liability.

    What Refund is Available?

    Except where prohibited by restrictions on the fare type, if a refund is requested we will provide a refund equal to:

    • the fare paid (including any charges and taxes but minus our reasonably incurred administration costs) if no part of the ticket is used, or
    • if part of the ticket is used, the difference between the fare paid and the fare for the part of the ticket used, and any applicable charges and taxes less any cancellation and reasonable administration fees
    Depending on the fare type, where a ticket is partly used, the unused part may have little or no monetary refund value.

    Who Gets The Refund and How is it Paid?

    (a) Any refund will be paid to the person who paid for the ticket, unless that person has authorised us in writing to pay the refund to someone else.

    (b) We will pay the refund in the same way and in the same currency used to pay for the ticket, unless we agree otherwise.

    Refunds on Taxes and Charges

    Certain charges and taxes may be payable on your Ticket.

If the administration fee reasonably incurred exceeds the amount of the refund, no refund will be paid.

    Deadline for Refunds

    Unless an applicable law says otherwise, we may refuse to provide a refund if it is requested after the end of the Validity Period.

    Right to Refuse Refund

    We may refuse a refund on a ticket which is your evidence of intention to depart from the country you are in unless you can establish to our satisfaction that:
