Beijing Youth daily reporter then call a number of airline and Airport Customer Service Department found that some airlines require passengers had to issue a waiver aged 70 or above grade stamp of hospital health certificate, in order to travel by air.
Legal experts said, the airlines ' passenger information obligation, if the obligation has been fulfilled, check does not check this "disclaimer" actually there is no difference. If the old man does not check the "disclaimer" were on refusing hire, clarification of the situation requiring airlines to produce the relevant legislative provisions.
The origin
Mao yushi: airline passengers will have to fill in over 80 years of exemption
"I'm due to old age, before boarding the requirement to fill out a form stating if dead air on a plane is not responsible. Implication is that if I do not fill out this form, the airlines will be responsible for my death. Never heard of airlines have such responsibility. But most of the time when not required to fill in the list. What this list? This indicates that China's Civil Aviation Administration confusing and illogical. ”
84 Tall Fescue in the 18th when I publish this Tweet triggered many netizens buzz, as of press time, forward this Tweet has been more than 2,100 times. Yesterday morning, the Beijing Youth daily reporter in touch with Mao, he said: "the 18th about my visit to Kunming International Airport and long water business, ready to take an airline flight back to Beijing. But before proceeding with the boarding pass, I was asked to fill out a form, list, what if something went wrong on the plane, the airline is not responsible, I feel that this makes no sense. ”
Mr Mao says, this list is offered to airline staff, and told him: "the company provides passenger list given above the age of 80. "Mao old recalls:" I have come across something like this before, if you do not fill out the list, you cannot change our boarding pass, I am not familiar with this kind of provision was formulated by the who. "According to him, took this form filled in by the airline staff.
Yesterday, the North Green newspaper reporter referred to the airline customer service contact Mr Mao, officials said, the airline has no age limit on passengers. If elderly people in good health, you can directly purchase tickets, ticket, boarding procedures. If families feel there are hidden dangers, can prove to the doctor prescribes a healthy check, before boarding the elderly do not fill out any "application".
Long water of Kunming International Airport customer service staff, different airlines have different requirements for passengers above the age of 70. "Airlines requirements are different, we have to rely on company's request to. If illness or physical condition is not good for the elderly, airport security could be denied boarding for the elderly. ”
Attention
Over 70 passengers will have to open a health certificate
75 years old this year, a few years ago, returning from overseas by airline flight to Beijing, had a similar experience. "I've also been asked to sign a form before boarding, but I persisted in its refusal, I think the airlines do not reasonably, I remember that I had for a long time out in the airport before finally boarded the plane. ”
This phenomenon also occurs in Beijing. North Green newspaper reporter call in her passenger capacity of nanyuan airport, customer service staff, aged 70 passengers had to issue stamp of local-level hospitals above health certificate to prove that heart, cardiovascular and blood pressure for the elderly are healthy, in order to travel by air. If old people unable to produce a health certificate, you must sign at the airport scene "disclaimer".
Elderly passengers to sign this "exemption", the "old man due to his physical condition at the time of flight has any problem, it has nothing to do with us. "But when our beiqing press inquiries can be represented collar exemption when airport customer service staff must change our boarding pass to check for the elderly, cannot be paid in advance or by any other person to have access.
However, this agreement is not a disclaimer at the airport, for the airlines.
It is understood. Nanyuan airport operated by the China United Airlines exclusive North Green newspaper reporter called the company's customer service department received the following reply: under 70 passengers as a general visitor reception, between 70 and 80 years old by air passengers are accompanied by an adult, except for the elderly over 80 years old accompanied by an adult, but also are required to sign the "exemption agreements".
The employees said, the "exemption agreements" could be the United Airlines counter at nanyuan airport presented to passengers, Werth in the agreement of the customer.
Survey
For more than 70 years old man became a "special" passenger
North Green newspaper reporter found in searches, some airlines will be "older travellers" integrated "special passengers" range, and indicating in the notes: "we demand special passenger ticket shall provide proof of appropriate special passenger transport formalities and, if you fail to comply with regulations, we reserve the right to refuse to undertake the carriage. "Northern green newspaper reporter then call the airlines customer service consulting.
At the Spring Airlines website, beiqing newspaper reporter to see the company for 70 passengers over the following provisions: 70 years (or more) old passenger ticket, need to fill in the special form of passenger transport, provide proof of effective opportunity within 180 days, or within 180 days of stamped and signed by the doctor in medical units of the medical certificate.
The company's customer service staff said: "passenger age is over 70 years old, and within six months to bring the opportunity to prove that include airline tickets and boarding passes. If not registered within six months recording, you must carry the national regular hospital to issue health certificates, examination including electrocardiogram, heart rate number values, blood pressure and respiratory examination. Passengers aged 70 and over must provide at least one ticket. "But the customer service says, don't know who developed this provision, they're responsible for informing passengers.
But not all airlines will be the old man as a "special passengers". Hainan Airlines staff made clear that "we do not have the special agreement on passengers aboard, let alone mandatory requirements must fill out the signature, Hainan Airlines to fly passengers have related health condition not adapted provisions, age is no limit. ”
China Southern Airlines domestic flight service, China Southern Airlines has no prescriptive age limit for passengers.

If elderly require special care in the air, within the required 72 hours before the flight, the laws applying to the China Southern Airlines.
Analysis
Opportunity age does not limit "waiver" may not be valid
According to the People's Republic of China article 124th Civil Aviation Act, occurred on a civil aircraft or passengers, under the procedure in the event of civil aircraft, causing personal injury to passengers, the carrier shall be liable, however, passenger personal injury was caused by the passenger's health, the carrier is not liable.

But the rules have age restrictions on the flight.
University School of civil and commercial law professor Li Xiandong said, airline passengers have the information obligation. For special passengers, such as pregnant women, the elderly passengers, their own conditions unfit for flight, carrier shall inform its navigation hazard. Airline obligation fulfilled, it was not at fault, check does not check this "disclaimer" actually there is no difference. But without the performance of notification, the airline would have to take responsibility.
Li Xiandong said if the elderly do not check "辯護" were on refusing hire, may require the airline to produce the relevant legal provisions, proves that such documents be consistent with national laws and regulations, if no relevant provision in the laws and regulations of China, it is illegal.

近日，84岁的经济学家茅于轼发布微博表示，他因年老，登机前被要求填写一份“单子”，说明如果在飞机上出了意外航空公司不负责任。该微博发布之后，引发不少网友关注，截至发稿时，这则微博已被转发2100余次。北京青年报记者随后致电多家航空公司和机场客服部门发现，部分航空公司要求70岁以上老年乘客必须开具免责协议或者地方三级甲等以上医院盖章的健康证明，才能乘机。
相关法律专家对此表示，航空公司对乘客有告知义务，若已尽到了告知义务，签不签这张“免责单”其实没有区别。若老人因不签“免责单”而被拒载，可以要求航空公司出示相关法律条文对情况作出说明。
缘起
茅于轼：航空公司称80岁以上乘客须填免责单
“我因年老，登机前要求填一张单子，说明如果在飞机上死了航空公司不负责任。言外之意是，如果我没有填这张单子，航空公司会对我的死亡负责任。从来没听说过航空公司有这种责任。但大多数情况下登机时不要求填单子。到底这张单子起什么作用？这无非表明我国民航管理的混乱和不合逻辑。”
84岁的茅先生在18日发布了这条微博后，引发不少网友热议，截至发稿时，此条微博已被转发2100余次。昨天上午，北京青年报记者联系上茅先生，据他介绍：“18日上午10点40分左右，我在昆明长水国际机场办理业务，准备搭乘一家航空公司的航班返回北京。但是办理登机牌之前，我被要求填写一张单子，单子上的内容大致意思是如果在飞机上出了意外，航空公司没有责任，我觉得这个毫无道理。”
茅先生表示，这张单子是航空公司工作人员主动给他的，并且告诉他：“公司规定了80岁以上乘客就要填单子。”茅老回忆：“以前我也遇到过这样的事情，如果不填写那张单子，就无法换登机牌，我并不清楚这样的规定是由谁制定的。”据他说，这张单子填写后由航空公司工作人员拿走了。
昨日，北青报记者致电茅先生所提到的这家航空公司客服，相关工作人员表示，航空公司对乘客没有年龄限制。若老人身体健康，可直接办理购票、检票、登机等手续。若家人感觉有隐患，可向医生开个健康证明再登机，老人登机前无需填写任何“申请书”。
昆明长水国际机场客服人员则表示，不同航空公司对70岁以上乘客有不同要求。“各家航空公司要求不同，我们要依据公司的要求来定。若老人生病或身体状况不好，机场安检部门可能会拒绝老人登机。”

70岁以上乘客须开健康证明
今年75周岁的李老先生，几年前乘坐一家航空公司的班机从外地回北京时也有类似的遭遇。“登机前我也被要求签署一张单子，但是当时我坚持拒绝，我觉得航空公司这样做并不合理，记得那次我在机场折腾了好一会儿，最后才登上了飞机。”
而这种现象也出现在了北京。北青报记者在以乘客身份致电咨询南苑机场时，相关客服人员表示，70岁以上老年乘客必须开具地方三级甲等以上医院盖章的健康证明，证明老人的心脏、心血管及血压等是健康的，才能乘机。若老人无法出示健康证明，则必须在机场现场签署“免责书”。
老年乘客签了这个“免责书”后，“老人因自己身体状况在乘机时出现任何问题，就与我们没关系了。”但当北青报记者问询能否由他人代领免责书时，机场客服人员表示一定要老人在换登机牌时签，不能提前领取或由他人代取。
不过，这份协议书并非是机场免责，针对的还是航空公司。
据了解。南苑机场由中国联合航空有限公司独家运营，北青报记者致电该公司客服部得到以下答复：70岁以下乘客按一般旅客接待，70岁至80岁之间的老年乘客需成人陪同乘机，80岁以上老人除成人陪同外，还需签署“免责协议书”。
该员工表示，“免责协议书”可能是由位于南苑机场的中联航柜台向乘客出示的，协议的甲方为中联航。
调查
超过70岁的老人成了“特殊”乘客
北青报记者在搜索时发现，一些航空公司将“老年旅客”纳入“特殊乘客”范围，并在备注中标明：“我们要求特殊旅客购票时应提供相应证明并办理特殊旅客运输手续，如您未能遵守规定，我们有权拒绝运输。”北青报记者随后致电多家航空公司客服咨询。
在春秋航空公司的官网上，北青报记者看到该公司对70岁以上乘客有如下规定：70岁(含)以上的老年旅客购票，需填制《特殊旅客运输申请表》、提供180天内的有效乘机证明，或180天内医疗单位盖章和医生签字的《体检证明》。
该公司客服人员表示：“年纪已经超过70岁的乘客，必须携带半年内的乘机证明，包括机票和登机牌。若半年内没有登记记录，则必须携带国家正规医院开具的健康证明，检查项目包括心电图、心率数值、血压数值和呼吸道检查。70岁及以上乘客必须提供至少一项才可购票。”但该客服同时表示，此项规定不知道是谁制定的，她们只负责告知旅客。
不过并非所有的航空公司都将老人列为“特殊乘客”。海南航空工作人员明确表示，“我们没有《特殊旅客搭乘协议》，更不会强制性要求旅客必须填写签字，海航只对身体健康状况不适应乘机的旅客有相关规定，对于年龄没有限制。”
南方航空公司国内航线客服表示，南航没有硬性规定乘客的年龄限制。若老人身体健康，即可按照一般乘客接收，若老人无人陪同，可向南航申请“老人迎送服务”。若老人需要在空中得到特殊照顾，需在航班起飞前72小时内，于始发地向南航申请。
分析
乘机人年龄没有上限 “免责协议”未必合法
根据《中华人民共和国民用航空法》第一百二十四条规定，因发生在民用航空器上或者在旅客上、下民用航空器过程中的事件，造成旅客人身伤亡的，承运人应当承担责任，但是，旅客的人身伤亡完全是由于旅客本人的健康状况造成的，承运人不承担责任。
而民用航空局颁布的《中国民用航空旅客、行李国内运输规则》第三十四条规定，无成人陪伴儿童、病残旅客、孕妇、盲人、聋人或犯人等特殊旅客，只有在符合承运人规定的条件下经承运人预先同意并在必要时做出安排后方予载运。但是该规定并未对乘机人年龄上限做出限制。
中国政法大学民商经济法学院李显冬教授表示，航空公司对乘客有告知义务。对于特殊乘客，如孕妇、老年人等乘客，自身条件不适宜乘坐航班的，航空公司须告知其航行的危险性。航空公司尽到了告知义务，就没有过失，签不签这张“免责单”其实没有区别。但若没有履行告知义务，航空公司就要承担相关责任。
李显冬表示，若老人不签“免责书”而被拒载，可以要求航空公司出示相关法律条文，证明此种文件符合国家法律法规，若中国法律法规中没有相关规定，那就属于违法行为。
