In what situation can the usual liability rules for airlines be altered regarding international air travel?

In the context of international air travel, the liability of airlines is often governed by conventions such as the Montreal Convention, which establishes a framework for compensation in cases of passenger injury, death, and baggage loss. The standard liability rules set forth in these conventions can indeed be altered if an airline fails to adhere to established international safety regulations.

When an airline neglects to comply with international safety standards, it may be held to a higher standard of accountability for incidents that occur. Safety regulations are put in place to protect passengers, and failure to follow these regulations can result in legal repercussions, including increased liability for damages. This means that if a passenger is harmed due to an airline's violation of these safety regulations, the airline could be deemed liable beyond what would typically be required under the applicable conventions.

This aligns with the principle that airlines must operate within a framework of safety and regulatory compliance when engaging in international operations. Not adhering to these regulations could result in exception to the standard liability rules, leading to potential judgments or settlements that go beyond the typical limitations set by international agreements.
