The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed a bill that seeks to empower the central government to revise the limits of liability for airlines and compensation as per the Montreal Convention.

The Carriage by Air (Amendment) Bill, 2015 bill was passed by the house after Civil Aviation Minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju moved it.
