In the event that, for reasons beyond our control, we are unable to land at the airfield at your destination and are required to divert to another airfield, then the carriage by air shall, unless the aircraft continues to its original destination, be deemed to be completed when the aircraft lands at the diversion airfield. We shall however arrange or designate alternative transportation to carry you to your original destination as set out in your Ticket, without additional charge to you.

If you are refused carriage because of your disruptive behaviour, or that you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we may pass on your details and date of the refusal of carriage to other airlines for their information. This in turn may make it difficult for you to book other airline tickets.

13.3 REFUSAL OF ENTRY

14.1.2(a) Any liability we have for Damage, will be reduced by any negligence on your part which causes or contributes to the Damage in accordance with applicable law.

14.1.2(b) We will be liable only for Damage occurring during carriage on flights.

14.1.2(c) We will not be liable for Damage to Unchecked Baggage unless such Damage is caused by our negligence.

14.1.2(d) We are not liable for any Damage arising from our compliance with applicable laws or Government rules and regulations, or from your failure to comply with the same.

14.1.2(e) Except in the case of an act or omission done with intent to cause Damage or recklessly and with knowledge that Damage would probably result, our liability in the case of Damage to Checked Baggage shall be limited to SDR 17 per kilogram and in the case of Damage to Unchecked Baggage shall be limited to SDR 332 per Passenger where the Warsaw Convention applies to your journey, or 1000 SDRs for Checked and Unchecked Baggage, subject to proven damage, where the Montreal Convention applies to your journey provided that in either case if in accordance with applicable law different limits of liability are applicable such different limits shall apply. The current value of 1 SDR is approximately UK£0.80 but this rate of conversion may fluctuate. For the purposes of the Warsaw Convention, if the weight of the Baggage is not recorded on the Baggage Check, it is presumed that the total weight of the Checked Baggage is equal to the applicable Baggage allowance for the class of carriage concerned.

14.1.2(i) We are not responsible for any illness, injury or disability, including death, attributable to your physical condition or for the aggravation of such condition.

14.1.2(j) These Conditions of Carriage apply to our Authorised Agents, servants, employees and representatives to the same extent as they apply to us. The total amount recoverable from us and from such Authorised Agents, employees, representatives and persons shall not exceed the amount of our own liability, if any.

14.1.2(k) Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage shall waive any exclusion or limitation of our liability under the Convention or applicable laws unless otherwise expressly stated.

SPECIAL AGREEMENT

14.2 In respect of any claim for recoverable compensatory damages arising out of the death, wounding or other bodily injury of a Passenger in an accident taking place on board an aircraft on a flight (or in the course of any of the operations of embarking or disembarking):

14.2.1 we will not avail ourselves of any defence under Article 20 of the Convention, or any similar defence existing under applicable law, with respect to that portion of the claim which does not exceed 100,000 SDRs;

14.2.2 we will without delay, and in any event not later than fifteen (15) Days after the identity of the natural person entitled to compensation has been established, make such advance payments to such person as may be required to meet immediate economic needs on a basis proportional to the hardship suffered (such amount not to be less than the equivalent of SDR16,000 per passenger in the event of death). Any such advance payment shall not constitute recognition of liability and may be offset against any subsequent sums paid by us, but is only returnable if the Damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of the Passenger or of the person who received the payment, or if the person to whom the payment was made was not the person entitled to compensation;

PROVIDED THAT we reserve all other defences available to us (whether under the Convention or otherwise) and all rights of recourse against any other person, including (without limitation) rights of contribution and indemnity.
