Under the Montreal Convention, passengers can choose to bring claims in relevant jurisdictions, such as their country of residence, the country of their final destination, or the country where the airline is based.

Lok said crew who are injured would be entitled to compensation, too, and they may seek legal advice over whether their claims would fall within the Montreal Convention framework.
