Consumer Protection in Aviation

Course Outline

This course covers ICAO’s core principles of Consumer Protection in Aviation. Along with the continuing liberalisation of air transport regulation, the protection, and improvement of airline passenger rights has gained greater importance. ICAO developed guidance material in such areas as conditions of carriage, fare guarantee, baggage, tariff disclosure, denied boarding, consumer protection, and code sharing. 

These topics are all covered in ICAO Doc 9587 (The Economic Regulation of International Air Transport). Note: Consumer protection is just one aspect of the guidance material in ICAO Doc 9587.
