SPAIN On 19 June 2007 Spain introduced new requirements meaning that air carriers have to provide certain personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the Spanish authorities before the aircraft departs for Spain. This information is known as 'advance passenger information' ('API' or 'APIS' data) and is already required on all flights to the United States. This information is compulsory and is required for the purposes of ensuring aviation safety and security. The Spanish authorities will use the information for law enforcement purposes. This will apply to all passengers leaving Ireland and travelling to Spain, regardless of nationality. The data will be collected either at the airport, when you check in, or in advance, usually when you make your booking. The requirement to provide API data does not apply to flights departing from countries within the Schengen free travel area. The countries within the Schengen free travel area are: Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden.

For damages up to 100,000 Special Drawing Rights (approximately EUR 123,000) the air carrier shall not exclude or limit it’s liability by proving that it has taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage or that it was impossible for the air carrier to take such measures. Notwithstanding this provision, if the air carrier can prove that the damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of the injured or deceased passenger the air carrier may be exonerated wholly or partly from it’s liability in accordance with applicable law.’ **EU NOTICE REQUIREMENT** If your journey involves a destination or stop in a country other than the one from which you depart, the Conventions may govern the liability of all airlines involved in your journey, including any portion thereof within a single country. This Convention limits the liability of airlines for death or bodily injury and for baggage loss, delay, or damage. Many air carriers, including all European Community air carriers, have waived the Conventions limits for death or bodily injury and the defence that they have taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage for the first 100,000 Special Drawing Rights of any such claim. In addition, in cases of bodily injury or death, many air carriers will make advance payments to the person entitled to compensation, if required to meet immediate economic needs in proportion to the hardship suffered. Community air carriers make such payments in accordance with Community Law. Other carriers may apply alternate provisions. We are not responsible for any illness, injury or disability, including death, attributable to your physical condition or for the aggravation of such condition.
