Delay to Passengers: For provable damage occasioned by delay to your journey, our liability is limited to SDR 4,694.  Carrier may not be liable for damages caused by delay if carrier can prove that carrier or its agents took all reasonable measures to avoid the delay or if it was impossible for carrier or it agents to take such measures to avoid delay.
