Our article deals with the civil liability of an international air carrier: case of loss of luggage. More than one passenger uses the aircraft to travel with their baggage. It is imperative for victims of lost luggage linked to the carrier by contract to know how to move to court to find compensation. The legal conditions for the implementation of the civil liability of the international air carrier in the event of loss of passenger baggage are: the existence of the fault that caused the damage, the causal link between this fault and the damage suffered; The civil liability provided for by these two conventions (C.V 1929 and C.M 1999) is contractual due to the fact that the existence of a contract of carriage is necessary for the application of conventions under the terms of their first articles, which provides that the liability based on the agreements would be of a contractual nature between the international air carrier and the passenger who lost his checked or hand luggage; Legally, the compensation of a passenger for loss of luggage takes place after having established the civil liability of the author of the fault who caused damage to the victim. In the absence of an amicable arrangement, it is determined by the judge of a competent court based on the conventions mentioned above and the internal laws relating thereto.
