Statute overview

About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Convention, including “Warsaw Convention,” “contracting carrier,” and “actual carrier.” If an actual carrier performs all or part of a carriage covered by the agreement, both the contracting carrier and the actual carrier must follow the Warsaw Convention rules, unless this Convention says otherwise. This article treats certain acts and omissions of the actual carrier and the contracting carrier as attributable to each other, and it preserves the liability limit stated in Article 22 unless the actual carrier agrees otherwise. Special agreements, waivers, or special declarations by the contracting carrier do not affect the actual carrier unless the actual carrier agrees. Under the Warsaw Convention, a complaint or order has the same effect whether it is addressed to the contracting carrier or the actual carrier, except that Article 12 orders are only effective if addressed to the contracting carrier.
