On the legal regulation of the air transport contract for persons from Romanian law

Summary/Abstract: Air transport has as legal regulation O.G. no. 29/1997 regarding the Air Code. This regulation contains legal norms on general aspects regarding the national airspace and its legal regime, thus creating a legal general framework for air transport. The regulated aspects concern more public law than private ones. However, if we refer to the private law and the law applicable to air transport contracts, the subject matter is represented by the Convention for the unification of certain rules regarding international air transport, adopted in Montreal on May 28, 1999, a convention that applies to international passenger transport, luggage or cargo, carried by an aircraft, against payment, and also free transport by aircraft by an air carrier. This Convention has been ratified by Romania through O.G. no. 107/2000 and approved by Law no. 14/2001. Also, passengers make use of their rights recognized at European level based on Regulation no. 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 setting common rules regarding compensation and assistance of passengers in the event of refusal to board or cancel or delayed flights.
