Under the Montreal Convention's first liability tier for passenger death or injury, revised from 28 December 2024, what happens once a claimant proves damage above 151,880 SDR?

Question

Accepted Answer

The carrier can still be held liable, but may now defend itself by proving it was not negligent. The 151,880 SDR figure marks the end of strict first-tier liability, not a payout ceiling. Above it, the Montreal Convention's second tier applies: the carrier remains liable for proven damages, but can escape extra liability only by proving it was not negligent, or that a third party alone caused the harm.
