Even so, there have been cases where air traffic control officials failed to warn pilots well in advance about bad weather, allowing flights to take off when they shouldn’t have in the first place. That still boils down to negligence, a common reason for filing an aviation claim.
Can I Sue an International Aircraft if the Accident Happened in the United States?
