The plaintiffs are demanding to recognize their claim as a collective one and expect to recover from the Russian airline at least 3,6 a million dollars of compensation for all US citizens who have been hit by Aeroflot since the 2004 of the year, writes Rapsi news.

The plaintiffs claim that as a result of a poorly organized check-in process for a flight from Sheremetyevo, carried out jointly with Finnair, also declared as a respondent along with Aeroflot, they and several other passengers arrived at the boarding point of the plane approximately 20 minutes before its departure but were not allowed on board.

Despite appeals to the employees of the Russian airline, the plaintiffs note, they did not receive any help from them, and were forced to spend a day at the airport, while incurring additional costs, and Aeroflot, instead of providing them with seats on one of their flights, forced them purchase new tickets worth approximately 2,5 thousands of dollars.

Referring to the alleged violation by the Russian company of the provisions of the “Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air” of 1999 (the Montreal Convention), the plaintiffs claim that such violations by Aeroflot are allegedly of a long, permanent and deliberate nature.

On my own behalf and from all US citizens who suffered damage under similar circumstances since 1 January 2004, the plaintiffs are demanding compensation in the amount of about 7 thousand dollars per passenger for a total amount exceeding 3,6 million dollars. The exact amount of the compensation must be determined by the court.

In the framework of the statement of claim, the passengers, along with the violation of the Montreal Convention, also stated that Aeroflot did not fulfill the conditions of the contractual obligation to transport them voluntarily, but in general its actions fall, in their opinion, under the law of the United States "On Corrupt and organizations under the influence of organized crime groups. ”

In addition, the plaintiffs are asked by the court to include their legal costs, including lawyer's fees, which they will have to bear due to Aeroflot’s refusal to settle claims in the amount of requested damages.

In addition, the plaintiffs ask the court to impose severe penalties on the airline and take other appropriate measures at its discretion.
