Abstract

This article examines Vietnamese legal provisions governing the limits of air carriers’ liability for the loss of, shortage of, or damage to baggage and cargo. The analysis identifies several shortcomings that require further legislative refinement to ensure the transparency, consistency, and effective application of the relevant legal framework. On this basis, the article proposes recommendations for improving the applicable legal provisions, thereby contributing to a fair balance of interests among the parties to contracts of carriage by air and addressing the development needs of the air transport market in the context of international integration.

Keywords: Air carrier; baggage; cargo; compensation for damage.
