Abstract :

This paper reviews discusses the liability of the air carrier has a role in the security of the passengers in the shadow of the ramifying opinions about the legal basis and nature of such liability. This problem becomes worse in countries with no legislations on air transport. Therefore, liability for the accidents of air terrorism is established in accordance with the general rules of liability in a way that does not match with the nature of air transport and accidents connected with it. The question why is that is air carrier liable for the damages caused to the passengers because of the terrorist acts or not? The study appeals to the air carrier to be exempt from the liability for what might face the flight that he warns the passengers of the terrorist threats to which the flight might be exposed on condition that these threats are serious
