Fluggastrechte im internationalen Luftverkehr

The increasing volume of air traffic has led to more and more passenger delays as well as overbooking and the cancellation of flights. In this regard Jens Peter Janköster analyzes the claims of air passengers against the contracting carrier. To determine the scope of the application of uniform international law as well as European and national law he focuses on the frequently assumed fixed-date character of the air transport contract and the significance of the flight number for the air carrier's obligation to provide transport. All in all, the author has developed a stable dogmatic structure which should enable mainly case law to find »just« solutions for both the air carrier and the passengers.
