Thailand: new International Carriage by Air Act

Thailand which is not a party of the Montreal Convention yet has adopted a new International Carriage by Air Act to come into force on May 14, 2015. The Act will apply to domestic and international carriage by air and will replace the application of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code to aviation cargo and passenger claims. It intends to approximate national law to the Montreal Convention of 1999 inter alia by introducing liability limits and a two years limitation period. An English translation of the Thai International Carriage by Air Act B.E. 2558 (2015) is available here: http://lawdrafter.blogspot.co.at/2015/03/2558-c-2558.html
