Changes to international law could lead to the aviation industry becoming liable for terrorist attacks. That's the warning from the chief executive of Global Aerospace Insurers, Tony Medniuk.
Changes to international law could lead to the aviation industry becoming liable for terrorist attacks. That's the warning from Global Aerospace chief executive Tony Medniuk.
Speaking at the 2003 Airline Insurance Rendez-vous of the International Air Transport Association Medniuk said: "The airlines should not be responsible for acts of terrorism against them."
He added that until legal liability is removed an interim solution provided by one of the proposed international aviation reinsurers is most likely.
He said: "What we are discussing is an interim solution, not a permanent solution."
