In defending passenger claims, we bring a sharp focus to the airline’s Conditions of Carriage, analyzing their provisions in light of applicable liability regimes. Our work is grounded in the key instruments that form the legal foundation of air carrier liability in Pakistan, including the Carriage by Air Act, 2012, which incorporates the Montreal Convention (1999). We are also experienced with the Warsaw Convention and the Hague Protocol, which remain relevant to legacy claims and comparative legal analysis in certain disputes.
Whether you are a foreign flag carrier operating in Pakistan, a regional airline, a cargo logistics company, or a travel intermediary, Legum offers strategic, commercially grounded legal solutions tailored to the aviation industry.
