Notes:
Explanations –
Statement 1 is incorrect. ICAO’s primary role is to coordinate international air navigation principles and foster the development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. ICAO does not directly manage global air traffic control systems.
Statement 2 is correct. The Montreal Convention of 1999 establishes airline liability in cases of death or injury to passengers, as well as for baggage and cargo loss or damage during international air transport. It unifies various international treaties covering airline liability.
