International Carriage by Air (Montreal, 28 May

1999)

Chapter 1 - General Provisions

Article 1 - Scope of application

1. This Convention applies to all international

carriage of persons, baggage or cargo performed by

aircraft for reward. It applies equally to gratuitous

carriage by aircraft performed by an air transport

undertaking.

2. For the purposes of this Convention, the

expression "international carriage" means any carriage

in which, according to the agreement between the

parties, the place of departure and the place of

destination, whether or not there be a break in the

carriage or a transhipment, are situated either within

the territories of two States Parties, or within the

territory of a single State Party if there is an agreed

stopping place within the territory of another State,

even if that State is not a State Party. Carriage

between two points within the territory of a single

State Party without an agreed stopping place within the

territory of another State is not international carriage

for the purposes of this Convention.

3. Carriage to be performed by several

successive carriers is deemed, for the purposes of this

Convention, to be one undivided carriage if it has been

regarded by the parties as a single operation, whether

it had been agreed upon under the form of a single

contract or of a series of contracts, and it does not lose

its international character merely because one contract

or a series of contracts is to be performed entirely

within the territory of the same State.

4. This Convention applies also to carriage as set out in

Chapter V, subject to the terms contained therein.
