Send us a textIm Dezember 2022 wurde Sofiane Licir auf einem Air-France-Flug von Houston nach Paris schwer verletzt, als sein Business-Class-Sitz während eines abrupt abgebrochenen Starts von den Schienen löste. Der Vorfall schleuderte ihn in die harte Sitzschale und den Bildschirm, wodurch er bleibende Schäden erlitt.Licir verklagt Air France gemäß Artikel 17 des Montrealer Übereinkommens, das Airlines für Verletzungen bei internationalen Flügen haftbar macht. Obwohl die Entschädigung normalerweise auf ca. 172.000 USD (128.821 Sonderziehungsrechte) begrenzt ist, fordert Licir, diese Obergrenze aufzuheben. Der Grund: Er wirft Air France grobe Fahrlässigkeit vor, da der Sitz und andere Business-Class-Sitze der A350-Flotte bereits bekannte Defekte hatten.Air France hat sich noch nicht öffentlich geäußert, aber der Fall könnte wegweisend für künftige Haftungsfragen im Luftverkehr werden.#AirFrance #Flugunfall #MontrealÜbereinkommen #Flugsicherheit #Luftfahrt #BusinessClass #Reiserecht #LuftverkehrFrage des Tages: Wie findet ihr die Beschwerde des Fluggastes bei United?

On episode 72, Micah and I talk about my trip to Singapore with my neighbor Shelley. Listener Claire writes in and tells us how she can relate to Matt Smiths fear of flying as she talks about her experience with a Go Around in Denver. And sadly, there isn't a question this week from Listener Lu. Hey Listener Lu, we want to know where you are??? :-) In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, Listener Hendric updates us on European Compensation, EU261. I ask for help with the project I'm working on at the California Science Center. We are looking for anyone with experience in the field of aviation to make a donation of time, talent or funds to support a program for disadvantaged students. Micah and I then talk about my trip with neighbor Shelley to Singapore. She was surprised to learn we got upgraded to Polaris... which was very nice. The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!

There are countless claim agencies in the European Union that specialise in pursuing airlines for compensation owed under the EC261/2004 regulation. Their promise is simple: They'll chase up airlines for money owed under EU laws for flight delays, cancellations and instances of overbooking on behalf of airline passengers who lack the time or expertise to do it themselves. If they are successful, the agency will keep a portion of the payout. If they are unsuccessful, there is no fee to the customer. But as it turns out, these services may not be entirely without risk! In this podcast, we meet multiple Finnair passengers who ended up personally owing the airline thousands of Euros after their claim agency, IfDelayed, lost their court cases and subsequently went bankrupt. This is despite being told by the claim agency that "under no circumstances will you be liable to pay any costs or other penalties if we do not win your case". This episode explains in detail the unfortunate series of events that led to these Finnair passengers having to pay up to $13,000 out of their own pocket, through no fault of their own. Perhaps surprisingly, nobody seems to have broken any laws along the way. Also in this episode, the latest Australian airline news & how to maximise the value in Virgin Australia's latest "double status credits" promotion.
