Aviation Law
  All States        
I bought my ticket from a U.S. airline, but the plane that crashed was that of a different, foreign airline. Who is responsible?

While every case is different, the U.S. airline may face liability. When a Swissair plane crashed in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 2, 1998, Delta Airlines was responsible for two dozen passengers because it had sold them tickets. This relationship between Swissair and Delta is known as "code-sharing." An experienced aviation attorney can be of great assistance in identifying responsible parties.
