Carriers are persons who carry persons or goods either for profit or gratuitously.
Carriers who transport persons or goods are normally classified as: (1) common carriers; (2) private carriers; or (3) other types of carriers with specific rights and duties. The rights and duties of a common carrier come from the common law and act as an insurer of the safety of the goods. As a private carrier, he has the legal obligations of a bailee and must take reasonable care of the goods and must refrain from converting them. Currently, the status of common carrier for international carriage is unlikely since English law relating to carriage by road, rail, sea or air derives from international conventions.

EU Law analysis: The Court of Justice held that a boarding pass may constitute ‘other proof’ within the meaning of Article 2(g) of Regulation (EC) 261/2004 to indicate that the airline or tour operator accepted and registered the reservation such that the passenger is deemed to have a ‘confirmed reservation’ on the flight, absent any special abnormal circumstance. Furthermore, a passenger is not regarded as travelling free of charge or at a reduced fare not directly or indirectly available to the public pursuant to Article 3(3) where a tour operator pays a market fare to the airline, and the package is paid to the tour operator by a third party. In such circumstances, the airline must prove that the passenger travelled free of charge or at a reduced fare. Written by Kathryn Ward, of counsel at DLA Piper UK LLP.
