Subject: Revision of liability limits under the Montreal Convention 1999 - Notification of the date of entry into force of revised limits (a) take into account that revised limits of liability become applicable from 28 December 2024 to all Parties to the Montreal Convention; and (b) adapt the implementing legislation as necessary in order to allow the revised liability limits to become valid;
Mr. / Mrs.,
I have the honour to refer to the letter to the States LE 3 / 38.1-IND / 24 / 4 of 28 June 2024 by which the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) notified the Contracting Parties of the results of the review of the limits of liability pursuant to Article 24 (2) of the Convention on the Unification of Certain Rules on International Transport, signed in Montreal on 28 May 1999 (Doc 9740).
As provided for in paragraph 8 of the above letter to the States, the Contracting Parties were informed that the limits of liability provided for by the Montreal Convention should be revised as follows:
Montreal Convention 1999 Initial limits (SDR) Revised limits (SDR) from 28 December 2019Revised limits, rounded (SDR) * † Article 21100 000128 821151 880Article 22, paragraph 14 1505 3466 303Article 22, paragraph 21 0001 2881 519Article 22, paragraph 3172226
> TABLE > For ease of reference, on 23 September 2024 SDR was worth USD 1.35. † As of 28 December 2024.
The Contracting Parties were notified, in accordance with the silent approval procedure set out in paragraph 2 of Article 24 of the Montreal Convention, that those revisions would enter into force for all Contracting Parties six months after notification unless, within three months of notification, most Contracting Parties have expressed their opposition to ICAO. Such majority dissent was not expressed.
The Contracting Parties are therefore invited to take the necessary measures, in accordance with their national legal requirements, so that the revised limits become applicable on 28 December 2024.
Accept, Mr. / Mrs., my deepest respect.
Juan Carlos Salazar Secretary-General
