  • While maritime arbitration industry has not been prevalent in Korea, Korea ranked fifth in terms of export volume and its shipbuilding industry ranked top globally in shipbuilding order volume in 2020. The discrepancy between the maritime industry's productivity and relative lack of maritime arbitration has had a negative impact on Korea's economic development. To address these problems, this paper i) reviews preceding research, ii) examines the Korean maritime arbitration system's status and analyzes the KCAB's maritime arbitration statistics from 2005-2020, iii) examines major foreign maritime arbitration institutions' status and strategies including LMAA, SMA, SCMA, and HKMAG, and lastly iv) suggests practical ways to promote maritime arbitration in Korea. The Suggestions for promoting maritime arbitration are 1) to prepare and promote various maritime standardized forms for the Korean shipping industry, 2) to insert an arbitration clause in medium and large-size Korean shipping firms' B/L clause, 3) to expand professional maritime manpower training and other infrastructure, and 4) to enhance the predictability of the result of arbitration through maritime arbitral awards or by examining the feasibility of the appeal system against the arbitral award only on a point of law in the future. In conclusion, the success or failure of promoting maritime arbitration in Korea depends on the will, passion, cooperation and practice of the most important key players in maritime arbitration, such as the Asia Pacific Maritime Arbitration Center (APMAC), the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board (KCAB) and the Seoul Maritime Arbitrators Association (SMAA).

  • A chemically sintered and binder-free paste of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared using a binary-liquid mixture of 1-octanol and CCl4. The 1:1 (v/v) complex of CCl4 and 1-octanol easily interacted chemically with the TiO2 NPs and induced the formation of a highly viscous paste. The as-prepared binary-liquid paste (PBL)-based TiO2 film exhibited the complete removal of the binary-liquid and residuals with the subsequent low-temperature sintering (~150℃) and UV-O3 treatment. This facilitated the fabrication of TiO2 photoanodes for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (f-DSSCs). For comparison purposes, pure 1-octanol-based TiO2 paste (PO) with moderate viscosity was prepared. The PBL-based TiO2 film exhibited strong adhesion and high mechanical stability with the conducting oxide coated glass and plastic substrates compared to the PO-based film. The corresponding low-temperature sintered PBL-based f-DSSC showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.5%, while it was 2.0% for PO-based f-DSSC. The PBL-based low- and high-temperature (500℃) sintered glass-based rigid DSSCs exhibited the PCE of 6.0 and 6.3%, respectively, while this value was 7.1% for a 500℃ sintered rigid DSSC based on a commercial (or conventional) paste.

  • 현재 국내에서는 제트 한정자격을 취득하려면 소형 비즈니스 제트 기종으로 교육을 받아야 한다. 그 이유는 항공안전법 시행규칙 『별표 4』의 "중략~ 2시간 이상의 비행훈련을 받아야 한다."라는 법규 때문이다. 결국 운용비용이 상대적으로 저렴한 소형 비즈니스 제트 항공기로 형식 한정자격을 취득하는 셈이다. 이렇게 취득한 자격은 항공사에서 운용하고 있는 항공기와는 차이가 있다. 그러나 초기 제트 한정자격이 있으면, 항공사 보유 항공기 자격을 시뮬레이터 훈련만으로 취득할 수 있기에 항공사는 소형제트 한정자격이라도 소지하기를 원한다. 하지만 미국과 호주에서는 초기 제트 한정자격을 취득함에 있어서 실비행 훈련 없이 시뮬레이터 훈련만으로 해당 기종 한정자격을 취득할 수 있는 제도가 마련되어 있다.

  • The New York Convention(formally called "United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards") done in New York on June 10, 1958 has been adhered to by more than 140 States at the time of this writing, including almost all important trading nations from the Capitalist and Socialist World as well as many developing countries. The Convention can be considered as the most important Convention in the field of arbitration and as the cornerstone of current international commercial arbitration. Korea has acceded to the New York Convention since 1973. When acceding to the Convention, Korea declared that it will apply the Convention to the recognition and enforcement of awards made only in the territory of another Contracting State on the basis of reciprocity. Also, Korea declared that it will apply the Convention only to differences arising out of legal relationships, whether contractual or not, which are considered as commercial under the national law of Korea. The provisions relating to the enforcement of arbitral awards falling under the New York Convention begin at Article III. The Article III contains the general obligation for the Contracting States to recognize Convention awards as binding and to enforce them in accordance with their rules of procedure. The Convention requires a minimum of conditions to be fulfilled by the party seeking enforcement. According to Article IV(1), that party has only to supply (1) the duly authenticated original award or a duly certified copy thereof, and (2) the original arbitration agreement or a duly certified copy thereof. In fulfilling these conditions, the party seeking enforcement produces prima facie evidence entitling it to obtain enforcement of the award. It is then up to the other party to prove that enforcement should not be granted on the basis of the grounds for refusal of enforcement enumerated in the subsequent Article V(1). Grounds for refusal of enforcement are stipulated in Article V is divided into two parts. Firstly, listed in the first Para. of Article V are the grounds for refusal of enforcement which are to be asserted and proven by the respondent. Secondly, listed in Para. 2 of Article V, are the grounds on which a court may refuse enforcement on its own motion. These grounds are non-arbitrability of the subject matter and violation of the public policy of the enforcement country. The three main features of the grounds for refusal of enforcement of an award under Article V, which are almost unanimously affirmed by the courts, are the following. Firstly, The grounds for refusal of enforcement mentioned in Article V are exhaustive. No other grounds can be invoked. Secondly, and this feature follows from the first one, the court before which enforcement of the award is sought may not review the merits of the award because a mistake in fact or law by the arbitrators is not included in the list of grounds for refusal of enforcement set forth in Article V. Thirdly, the party against whom enforcement is sought has the burden of proving the existence of one or more of the grounds for refusal of enforcement. The grounds for refusal of enforcement by a court on its own motion, listed in the second Para. of Article V, are non-arbitrability of the subject matter and public policy of the enforcement country. From the court decisions reported so far at home and abroad, it appears that courts accept a violation of public policy in extreme cases only, and frequently justify their decision by distinguishing between domestic and international public policy. The Dec. 31, 1999 amendment to the Arbitration Act of Korea admits the basis for enforcement of foreign arbitral awards rendered under the New York Convention. In Korea, a holder of a foreign arbitral award is obliged to request from the court a judgment ordering enforcement of the award.

항공화물운송상(航空貨物運送狀)의 성질(性質)과 유통성(流通性) (The Character and Negotiability of Air Waybill)

  • The air waybill is supposed to be made out by the consignor. If the carrier makes it out, he is deemed, subject to proof to the contrary, to have done so on behalf of the consignor. The air waybill shall be made out in three original parts. The first part shall be marked "for the carrier", and shall be signed by the consignor. The second part shall be marked "for the consignee", it shall be signed by the consignor and by the carrier and shall accompany the goods. The third part shall be signed by the carrier and handed by him to the consignor, after the goods have been accepted. According to the original Warsow Convention article 8, the air waybill must contain 17 particulars or items. However, the Hague Protocol reduced to three the number of particulars required to appear on the air waybill. Only one item is obligatory, namely, the notice that the carriage is subject to the rules of the Warsaw Convention. The absence of the air waybill entails unlimited liability of the carrier because it deprives him of the right to avail himself of the provisions of the Warsaw Convention which exclude or limit his liability. The consignor shall be liable for all damages suffered by the carrier or any other person by reason of the irregularity, incorrectness or incompleteness of the particulars and statements in the air waybill. Although the contract of the carriage of goods by air is not a formal contract, the document of carriage is issued. The issue of air wayhill is not essential for the existence or validity of the contract, but serves merely as a means of proof. The Hague Protocol has lessened the consequences of the carrier's neglect to faithfully accomplish the required formalities. Henceforth, these formalities no longer constitute legal obligations. The air waybill is the consignment note used for the carriage of goods by air. It is often called an air consignment note and is not a document of title or transferable/negotiable instrument. It is basically a receipt for the goods for despatch and is prima facie evidence of the conditions of carriage. Each of the original parts of the air waybill has evidential value and possession of his part is a condition for the exercise by the consignor or cosignee of his rights under the contract of carriage. Oveall, it is an usage that under a documentary letter of credit, the consignee on the air waybill is the opening bank of the letter of credit, and the notify party is the importer who applied for the letter of credit. In Korea there is an usage as to process of cargo delivery in air transportation as follows: The carrier carries the cargo into the bonded area of the airport and gives both the notice of arrival of the cargo and the consignee's air waybill to the notify party who is the importer. Then the notify party obtains the Letter of Guarantee from the opening bank in exchange for reimbursing the amount of the letter of credit or tendering the security therefor to the opening bank. The notify party then presents this document to the customs authorities for the process of customs clearance. The opening bank becomes a consignee only to ensure repayment of the funds it has expended, and the only interest of the opening bank as consignee is the reimbursement of the money paid to the exporter under the documentary letter of credit. Just as the bill of lading in maritime law, the air waybill has always been considered negotiable although the Warsaw Convention does not emphasize this aspect of negotiability. However, the Hague Protocol article 4 corrected the situation by stating that "nothing in this Convention prevents the issue of a negotiable air waybill." This provision officially recognizes that the air waybill must meet the needs of the present day business circles by being a negotiable instrument. Meanwhile, Montreal Additional Protocol no. 4 has brought important changes. Registration by computer is acceptable and the parties to the contract of carriage are allowed to replace the air waybill with a receipt for the goods. In conclusion, as the Warsaw Convention has not details of provisions relating to the issuing of the negotiable air waybill, it is hoped that there should be supplement to the Warsaw Convention and establishment of international commercial usage with regard to the negotiable air waybill.

  • The Scope of Application of North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act and Foreign Investment Act This article examines whether the Foreign Economic Arbitration Act and the Foreign Investment Act of North Korea apply to South Korean parties or companies. This article analyzes laws and agreements related to economic cooperation between South Korea and North Korea. Furthermore, this article compares and evaluates laws related to foreign investment and enacted in North Korea. Now, North Korea's door is closed due to economic sanctions against it, but it will be opened soon. Thus, this article prepares for the future opening of North Korea's markets. Is there a rule of laws in North Korea or just a ruler? Are there laws in North Korea? North Korea has enacted a number of legislation to attract foreign investors, referring to those Chinese laws. For example, North Korea enacted the Foreigner Investment Act, the Foreigner Company Act, the Foreign Investment Bank Act, the Foreign Economic Arbitration Act, the Foreign Economic Contract Act, the International Trade Act, and the Free Economy and Trade Zone Act, among others. Article 2 (2) of the Foreign Investment Law of North Korea states, "Foreign investors are corporations and individuals from other countries investing in our country." It is interpreted that South Korea is not included in the "other countries" of this definition. According to many mutual agreements signed by South Korea and North Korea, the relationship between the two Koreas is a special relation inside the Korean ethnic group. An arbitration between a South Korean party and a North Korean party has the characteristics of both domestic arbitrations and international arbitrations. If the South Korea and North Korea Commercial Arbitration Commission or the Kaesong Industrial Complex Arbitration Commission is not established, the possibility of arbitration by the Chosun International Trade Arbitration Commission, established under North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act, should be examined. There have been no cases where the Foreign Economic Arbitration Act is applied to disputes between parties of South Korea and North Korea. It might be possible to apply the Foreign Economic Arbitration Act by recognizing the "foreign factor" of a dispute between the South Korean party and North Korean party. It is necessary to raise legislative clarifications by revising the North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act as to whether Korean parties or companies are included in the scope of this Act's application. Even if it is interpreted that South Korean parties or companies are not included in the scope of North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act, disputes between South Korean companies and North Korean companies can be resolved by foreign arbitration institutes such as CIETAC in China, HKIAC in Hong Kong, or SIAC in Singapore. Such arbitration awards could be enforced in North Korea pursuant to Article 64 of North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act. This is because the arbitration awards of foreign arbitration institutes are included in the scope of North Korea's Foreign Economic Arbitration Act. The matter is how to enforce the North Korean laws when a North Korean party or North Korean government does not abide by the laws or their contracts. It is essential for North Korea to join the New York Convention (Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards) and the ICSID Convention (Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States).

  • 1999년 몬트리올협약이 제정되기까지는 1929년의 바르샤바협약을 중심으로 한 바르샤바체제가 국제항공운송책임과 관련한 기본 체제가 되어 왔었다. 그러나 유한책임, 과실책임 원칙을 기반으로 한 운송인 보호 중심의 성격이 강한 바르샤바 체제가 급속한 성장을 이룩한 항공운송분야의 시대적 수요에 부응할 수 없게 되면서 이를 하나로 통합하고 현대화한 조약제정의 시대적 필요성에 의하여 탄생한 것이 1999년 몬트리올협약이다. 몬트리올협약은 크게 2가지의 의의를 가지고 있다. 먼저 기존의 항공운송과 관련한 많은 조약들을 범세계적으로 통합하고 통일적인 기준을 제시했다는 점이고 따른 하나는 기존의 바르샤바 체제와는 다른 책임법리를 구성함으로써 소비자중심, 소비자 이익의 보호에 중점을 두었다는 점이다. 본 논문은 이러한 몬트리올협약의 내용 중 여객운송인의 책임을 중심으로 살펴본 것인바 책임성립요건으로써 여객의 사망 또는 신체상해와 같은 책임원인과 사고 등의 세부적 요건에서부터 새로이 도입한 제도 등 관련 문제를 살펴보았다. 즉, 몬트리올협약이 채택한 2단계책임제도를 비롯하여 신체상의 상해를 둘러싼 해석문제, 항공사고가성립하기 위한 요건을 둘러싼 문제, 제5 재판관할권 문제, 전자항공권의 도입에 따른 법적문제, 선급금 지급제도, 계약운송인과 실제운송인에 관한 규정 등 항공여객운송인의 책임과 관련한 전반적인 문제를 다루었다. 이들 중 10만 SDR까지는 항공운송인에게 엄격책임을, 10만 SDR 이상에 대해서는 항공운송인이 과실없음을 입증하지 못하면 무한책임을 지도록 하는 2단계 책임제도와 승객의 주거소지에서 소송 제기가 가능토록 한 제5 재판관할권 도입은 몬트리올협약의 가장 큰 특징이라 할 수 있다. 항공운송인이 10만 SDR이상의 경우에 있어서 무과실 입증이 결코 용이하지 않다는 점에서 사실상 무한책임을 도입하였다고 볼 수 있고 제5 재판관할권 도입과 관련하여서는 승객의 입장에서 소송을 제기할 수 있는 관할법원의 선택이 늘어났다는 점에서 피해자 보호에 획기적인 조치라 할 수 있다. 앞으로 항공여객운송 산업은 점점 더 보편화되고 일상화되고 항공여객운송의 수요는 더욱 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 이와 관련한 국제적 통일 책임협약인 몬트리올협약의 중요성은 더욱 커질 전망이다. 그러나 몬트리올협약은 이제 막 출발한 단계이어서 앞으로 많은 문제점과 해결해야 할 과제를 안고 있다고 본다. 예컨대 신체적 상해에 정신적 손해의 포함여부 문제, 상대적으로 배상금액이 높은 곳으로의 소송이 옮겨가는 Forum Shopping 문제, 강제보험을 도입에 따른 적절한 보험의 구체적 수준 문제 등이다. 국제적으로는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 대책 마련을 지속적으로 노력할 필요가 있으며, 더 많은 체약국의 확보에도 힘써야 할 것으로 본다. 우리나라는 몬트리올협약에 2007년 9월 20일부로 가입하였고 동년 12월 29일 부로 국내적으로도 발효되었다. 더 나아가 우리나라는 본 협약에 기초한 항공운송법을 상법의 일부로 제정하여 시행하려 하고 있다. 이러한 사실은 몬트리올협약이 우리 항공운송업계에도 현실이 되었다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 우리 항공운송업계도 이에 따른 대비를 하는 것이 필요하다고 본다.

  • The main purpose of the investigation of an accident caused by aircraft is to be prevented the sudden and casual accidents caused by wilful misconduct and fault from pilots, air traffic controllers, hijack, trouble of engine and machinery of aircraft, turbulence during the bad weather, collision between birds and aircraft, near miss flight by aircrafts etc. It is not the purpose of this activity to apportion blame or liability for offender of aircraft accidents. Accidents to aircraft, especially those involving the general public and their property, are a matter of great concern to the aviation community. The system of international regulation exists to improve safety and minimize, as far as possible, the risk of accidents but when they do occur there is a web of systems and procedures to investigate and respond to them. I would like to trace the general line of regulation from an international source in the Chicago Convention of 1944. Article 26 of the Convention lays down the basic principle for the investigation of the aircraft accident. Where there has been an accident to an aircraft of a contracting state which occurs in the territory of another contracting state and which involves death or serious injury or indicates serious technical defect in the aircraft or air navigation facilities, the state in which the accident occurs must institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the accident. That inquiry will be in accordance, in so far as its law permits, with the procedure which may be recommended from time to time by the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO). There are very general provisions but they state two essential principles: first, in certain circumstances there must be an investigation, and second, who is to be responsible for undertaking that investigation. The latter is an important point to establish otherwise there could be at least two states claiming jurisdiction on the inquiry. The Chicago Convention also provides that the state where the aircraft is registered is to be given the opportunity to appoint observers to be present at the inquiry and the state holding the inquiry must communicate the report and findings in the matter to that other state. It is worth noting that the Chicago Convention (Article 25) also makes provision for assisting aircraft in distress. Each contracting state undertakes to provide such measures of assistance to aircraft in distress in its territory as it may find practicable and to permit (subject to control by its own authorities) the owner of the aircraft or authorities of the state in which the aircraft is registered, to provide such measures of assistance as may be necessitated by circumstances. Significantly, the undertaking can only be given by contracting state but the duty to provide assistance is not limited to aircraft registered in another contracting state, but presumably any aircraft in distress in the territory of the contracting state. Finally, the Convention envisages further regulations (normally to be produced under the auspices of ICAO). In this case the Convention provides that each contracting state, when undertaking a search for missing aircraft, will collaborate in co-ordinated measures which may be recommended from time to time pursuant to the Convention. Since 1944 further international regulations relating to safety and investigation of accidents have been made, both pursuant to Chicago Convention and, in particular, through the vehicle of the ICAO which has, for example, set up an accident and reporting system. By requiring the reporting of certain accidents and incidents it is building up an information service for the benefit of member states. However, Chicago Convention provides that each contracting state undertakes collaborate in securing the highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures and organization in relation to aircraft, personnel, airways and auxiliary services in all matters in which such uniformity will facilitate and improve air navigation. To this end, ICAO is to adopt and amend from time to time, as may be necessary, international standards and recommended practices and procedures dealing with, among other things, aircraft in distress and investigation of accidents. Standards and Recommended Practices for Aircraft Accident Injuries were first adopted by the ICAO Council on 11 April 1951 pursuant to Article 37 of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation and were designated as Annex 13 to the Convention. The Standards Recommended Practices were based on Recommendations of the Accident Investigation Division at its first Session in February 1946 which were further developed at the Second Session of the Division in February 1947. The 2nd Edition (1966), 3rd Edition, (1973), 4th Edition (1976), 5th Edition (1979), 6th Edition (1981), 7th Edition (1988), 8th Edition (1992) of the Annex 13 (Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation) of the Chicago Convention was amended eight times by the ICAO Council since 1966. Annex 13 sets out in detail the international standards and recommended practices to be adopted by contracting states in dealing with a serious accident to an aircraft of a contracting state occurring in the territory of another contracting state, known as the state of occurrence. It provides, principally, that the state in which the aircraft is registered is to be given the opportunity to appoint an accredited representative to be present at the inquiry conducted by the state in which the serious aircraft accident occurs. Article 26 of the Chicago Convention does not indicate what the accredited representative is to do but Annex 13 amplifies his rights and duties. In particular, the accredited representative participates in the inquiry by visiting the scene of the accident, examining the wreckage, questioning witnesses, having full access to all relevant evidence, receiving copies of all pertinent documents and making submissions in respect of the various elements of the inquiry. The main shortcomings of the present system for aircraft accident investigation are that some contracting sates are not applying Annex 13 within its express terms, although they are contracting states. Further, and much more important in practice, there are many countries which apply the letter of Annex 13 in such a way as to sterilise its spirit. This appears to be due to a number of causes often found in combination. Firstly, the requirements of the local law and of the local procedures are interpreted and applied so as preclude a more efficient investigation under Annex 13 in favour of a legalistic and sterile interpretation of its terms. Sometimes this results from a distrust of the motives of persons and bodies wishing to participate or from commercial or related to matters of liability and bodies. These may be political, commercial or related to matters of liability and insurance. Secondly, there is said to be a conscious desire to conduct the investigation in some contracting states in such a way as to absolve from any possibility of blame the authorities or nationals, whether manufacturers, operators or air traffic controllers, of the country in which the inquiry is held. The EEC has also had an input into accidents and investigations. In particular, a directive was issued in December 1980 encouraging the uniformity of standards within the EEC by means of joint co-operation of accident investigation. The sharing of and assisting with technical facilities and information was considered an important means of achieving these goals. It has since been proposed that a European accident investigation committee should be set up by the EEC (Council Directive 80/1266 of 1 December 1980). After I would like to introduce the summary of the legislation examples and system for aircraft accidents investigation of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Swiss, New Zealand and Japan, and I am going to mention the present system, regulations and aviation act for the aircraft accident investigation in Korea. Furthermore I would like to point out the shortcomings of the present system and regulations and aviation act for the aircraft accident investigation and then I will suggest my personal opinion on the new and dramatic innovation on the system for aircraft accident investigation in Korea. I propose that it is necessary and desirable for us to make a new legislation or to revise the existing aviation act in order to establish the standing and independent Committee of Aircraft Accident Investigation under the Korean Government.

  • 역사적인 관점에서 지난 1924년 바르샤바 협약이 도출되어 전 세계 항공운송산업에서의 통일적인 사법적 책임을 규율하는 동안 지나치게 항공운송인 보호에 치중하면서 항공 소비자의 보호는 다소 미흡하였던 것이 사실이다. 그리고 태풍이나 폭설 등 천재지변의 사유로 항공기가 정상적으로 운항되지 못한 경우에 원칙적으로 항공운송인은 어떠한 의무나 책임도 부담하지 않는 것이 현행 국제협약이나 우리 상법의 내용이다. 하지만 최근 미국이나 유럽 등 선진국을 중심으로 이와 같이 항공사에 아무런 귀책사유가 존재하지 않는 경우에도 법규범이 적극적으로 일정한 승객 보호 의무를 항공사에게 부여하는 움직임이 나타나고 있다. 나아가 그러한 선진국의 입법은 항공기의 비정상운항이 불가항력에 기인하지 않은 경우에는 항공사에게 손해배상과 별개로 손실보상의 의무를 부과하고 있다. 이러한 역사적, 국제적인 상황 인식 하에서 우리나라도 다른 외국의 입법례를 참고하여 항공소비자 보호에 관한 제도를 정비하고 있다. 하지만 외국의 경우와 비교할 때 우리 규범은 몇 가지 아쉬운 점이 있다. 먼저 규정내용에서 항공사의 보호 혹은 배려의무를 손해배상책임과 혼용하고 있는데, 이는 항공사의 승객 보호 의무에 관한 이해의 부족에서 비롯된 것으로 보인다. 국제협약이나 상법에서 규율하는 손해배상책임은 항공운송 과정에서 발생한 개별적인 승객의 손해에 관하여 항공사의 귀책사유를 판단하여 결정된다. 하지만 보호의무와 그에 따른 보상책임은 항공사의 귀책사유와 상관없이 비정상운항으로 불편을 겪는 모든 승객에게 배려차원에서 인정되는 것이다. 또한 항공권 초과판매에 따른 비자발적 탑승거부에 관한 우리의 보상체계는 외국의 경우와 비교할 때 지나치게 낮은 수준이며, 그 보상의 범위를 대체편이 제공된 시각을 기준으로 달리 설정하는 것은 명확성의 원칙에 반할 여지가 있다. 수하물에 관해서는 유상으로 위탁한 수하물의 연착에 대한 손해발생의 여부를 묻지 아니하고 연착이라는 사실 그 자체에 따라 요금을 환불해 줄 필요가 있을 것으로 본다. 이는 수하물 연착에 따라 항공사가 필요한 모든 조치를 취하였는지 여부에 따라 책임유무가 달라지는 현행 상법이나 국제협약상의 손해배상제도와는 구별되는 배려의무의 내용이라 할 수 있다. 우리 규범상 항공사의 승객에 대한 보호의무의 면제요건인 불가항력의 내용도 재고되어야 한다. 안전운항을 위한 정비, 항공기 접속관계, 공항사정 등은 불가항력에 포함되는 것으로 보기에 부적절하거나 그 범위가 너무 포괄적이기 때문이다. 그리고 EC Regulation에 따르면 항공사의 비정상운항의 원인이 불가항력인 경우 항공사의 보상의무는 면제되지만 배려의무는 여전히 인정된다. 향후 우리나라도 적극적인 승객 배려의무의 일환으로 유럽과 같이 불가항력에 따른 비정상운항에 대해서도 항공사가 무상으로 음식물이나 숙식을 제공하는 규정의 도입을 검토해 볼 필요가 있을 것으로 본다. 나아가 항공소비자 보호의 주체가 항공사라고 하더라도 그러한 보호 의무의 이행여부를 감독하는 것은 정부기관의 몫이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 보호의무를 충실히 이행한 항공사에게 장려책을 시행하고, 반대의 경우 벌금부과 등의 견책을 가하는 등의 적극적인 조치를 우리 정부가 취할 필요도 있다고 본다.
