The advantages of air transportation in terms of human welfare, economic
growth and social integration are outstanding and undeniable. However, the
high speed of aircraft has made such means of transportation as the main
factor of spreading viruses and communicable diseases among the countries.
Spread of Covid-19 virus from China to other countries by aircraft and the
disruptive role of some airlines in this regard necessitated a re-thinking of
the air carriers; liability. Regardless of the social liability of air carriers, their
civil liability for spread of virus between the passengers has become
controversial among the scholars. The basic issue to deal with is that on what
conditions an air carrier might be held liable for such spread of virus. A
comprehensive analysis of this issue, requires a re-thinking of the concept of
“sinister/occurrence” within air transportation under article 17 of Warsaw
Convention 1929 or Montreal Convention 1999, further to the general
obligations of air carriers for compliance with the relevant health
requirements.
