  • Benjamins V. British European Airways
    Finding a Cause of Action for Wrongful Death in the Warsaw Convention: Benjamins v. British European Airways I. INTRODUCTION The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided in Benjamins v. British European Airways' that article 17 of the Warsaw Convention2 is self-executing. That is, the treaty alone, without additional legislative action, now creates a cause of action for wrongful death. The facts of the case are simple; on June 18, 1972, an airplane designed and manufactured by Hawker-Siddely Aviation, Ltd. and owned and operated by British European Airways departed for Brussels from London's Heathrow Airport. Soon thereafter, the plane crashed into a field, killing all 112 passengers. Abraham Benjamins, the spouse of one of the passengers, brought suit for wrongful death and baggage loss in the Eastern District of New York as representative of his wife's estate. Plaintiff was a Dutch citizen permanently residing in California. Defendants were British corporations with their principal places of business in the United Kingdom. The ticket on which the decedent was traveling had been purchased in Los Angeles. The original complaint alleged only diversity of citizenship as grounds for federal jurisdiction;3 because Benjamins, a resident alien, could not be diverse from an alien corporation,4 the complaint was dismissed. Benjamins' suit reached the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit after the district court, in an unreported decision, dismissed an amended complaint asserting federal question jurisdiction.5 The Second Circuit 1. 572 F.2d 913 (2d Cir. 1978). 2.

  • Prof. Paul Stephen Dempsey
    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

  • (Mm&L to ALCOCK and BRO# Cm 15Th JUNE. 1959
    .I^MABS^ FOR INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE, WHEN HE_UNVEIL2D A MEMORIAL AT CLIFDEN, CO. (mm&L TO ALCOCK AND BRO# cm 15th JUNE. 1959: - On the roll of pioneers in aviation, from Orville Wright who first took an aeroplane off the ground, to those who are now training to Journey into outer space, are the names of many very brave and enterprising men, and amongst them those of John Alcock and Arthur Whitten-Brown stand out in special prominence - the first men to fly an aeroplane non-stop across the Atlantic. It is fitting that their great enterprise should be marked by an enduring monument at this spot where, on this day forty years ago, they completed their epic journey. This monument with the completion of which Mr. Seamus Murphy, the Cork Sculptor, has been associated is not unworthy of the event. Now, when great aeroplanes fly on regular schedules, over all the wide oceans of the world, it may not be very easy to appreciate the magnitude of the adventure on which Alcock and Brown engaged or measure the great courage for which it called, or even to remember clearly ourselves the great upsurge of pride which was felt by all men everywhere, when the news of their accomplishment was transmitted around the earth. Before they started their flight from Newfoundland, two other daring groups had attempted the hazardous enterprise but had failed. Whatever .confidence Alcock and Brown may have expressed, they could not in their hearts have rated their chance of succeeding very highly, but they were not deterred.
