21. Liability Insurance • Liability can be divided basically into two categories: • Liability in respect of Passengers, Baggage, Cargo and Mail carried on the aircraft. These liabilities result from the operations the airline is set up to perform and are normally the subject of a contract of carriage like a ticket or airway bill, which provides some possibility of limiting the airline's liability. • Aircraft Third Party Liability - the liability for damage done to property or people outside the aircraft itself.

22. Every airline will arrange liability insurance for these two categories, normally in a single liability policy. In many countries there are requirements laid down imposing minimum limits of liability that are a prerequisite to obtaining an operator's licence. Elsewhere limits are specified for an aircraft to be allowed to land. The size of limit required is often related to the size of the aircraft concerned (and its potential for causing damage). A small aircraft operating only in remote regions and using small airstrips incurs considerably less potential exposure than an aircraft flying into and out of major airports.

Legal Liability • Coverage • Will indemnify against legal liability for bodily injury or property damage suffered by third parties (including passengers baggage and cargo) arising from the aviation operations of the airline and caused by an occurrence • Relates mainly to • Operation of aircraft • Injury to passengers • Damage to cargo / baggage • Operations at airports and other aviation premises • Services to other airlines • Can include war and allied risks
