Pregnancy and Aviation Law

Pregnant / Hamile Passengers

Burada da hukukun üstünlüğü geçerli.

Aşağıda bulacağınız bazı havayollarının Hamile Yolcu uygulamaları sırandı. Bazıları tarih belirtiyor, bazıları belirtmiyor. İkisi arasındaki ortak payda, sorumluluğu yolcuya atmış olmaları.

İkisinin de yaptığı, hukuki sorumluluktan kaçınmak.

İkisi de doğru yapıyor, çünkü dikkat edin, yasaklamayanlar, "tavsiye" ediyorlar. Yolcunun sıhhatinden biz sorumlu değiliz'e getiriyorlar. Burada belirli bir süreden sonra kabul etmeyenleri de kimse suçlayamaz.

Ülkelerin kendi kanunları ve sağlık sigortalarını da göz önüne almak zorundayız. Bu nedenlerle "kesin" genelleme yapılamıyor. Şirketler, kendileri kurallarını koyuyorlar.
