If damage results from a bad aircraft landing, the one who caused it bears responsibility, whether it be the pilot or someone else. If more than one person is involved, each guarantees according to their share. However, if no harm befalls the passengers, they are not entitled to claim compensation. The captain guarantees against damages if the negligence was his, meaning he was able to control the aircraft but did not, or he neglected safety requirements. Commercial insurance is not permissible, and the insured is only entitled to what he paid.
