                    10. Weather Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Weather conditions are assessed by the pilot approximately fifteen (15) minutes before the scheduled departure on the day of the flight.<\/p>\n

                    As weather conditions in Mauritius may change rapidly, the pilot has sole discretion to determine whether the flight can be operated safely.<\/p>\n

                    In the interest of flight safety, the pilot retains full authority and responsibility to maintain, postpone or cancel any flight whenever weather conditions are deemed unsuitable.<\/p>\n

                    11. Passenger Seating<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    In accordance with aviation regulations relating to aircraft weight and balance limitations, passengers’ weights will be recorded prior to boarding.<\/p>\n

                    Seat allocation is determined exclusively by the Company based on each passenger’s weight and the aircraft’s weight and balance requirements.<\/p>\n

                    Passengers are not permitted to choose their seats.<\/p>\n

                    12. Photography and Filming<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Passengers may take photographs or videos for personal use during the flight, provided that such activities do not interfere with flight safety or the Company’s operations.<\/p>\n

                    Should any photographs, videos or other recordings be considered detrimental to the Company’s interests, Corail H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Ltd reserves the right to take appropriate legal action and to require the immediate removal of such content.<\/p>\n

                    Any commercial use, publication or distribution of photographs or videos taken during the flight is strictly prohibited without the Company’s prior written consent.<\/p>\n

                    Baggage<\/p>\n

                    All aircraft are subject to strict passenger and baggage weight limitations.<\/p>\n

                    Prior to confirming a flight, the Company may record the weight and dimensions of all baggage in order to ensure compliance with aircraft operational limitations.<\/p>\n

                    Flight confirmations are issued on the basis of the information provided by the Customer. The Customer is responsible for informing Corail H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Ltd of any subsequent changes.<\/p>\n

                    The Company reserves the right to refuse a booking if the applicable weight limitations are exceeded or if baggage cannot be carried safely within the aircraft baggage compartment.<\/p>\n

                    Corail H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Ltd provides the dimensions and specifications of the baggage compartments for each aircraft upon request.<\/p>\n

                    Passengers are reminded that certain items are classified as Dangerous Goods under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations or are otherwise restricted or prohibited. Passengers must notify the Company as soon as possible if they intend to travel with such items.<\/p>\n

                    Where security inspections are carried out by the Police, Customs authorities or Corail H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Ltd personnel, passengers remain fully responsible for their baggage, even where it is transported separately.<\/p>\n

                    The carriage of baggage belonging to a person who is not travelling on the same flight is prohibited, except where members of the same family group are travelling on separate flights solely for operational weight and balance reasons.<\/p>\n

                    Should a passenger refuse a baggage inspection or if there is reason to believe that prohibited or restricted items are concealed within the baggage, such baggage will not be accepted for carriage.<\/p>\n

                    14. Right of Withdrawal<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    In accordance with applicable legislation relating to transport services, tickets purchased online are not subject to any statutory right of withdrawal.<\/p>\n

                    The right of withdrawal does not apply to transport, accommodation, catering or leisure services provided on a specified date or during a specified period.<\/p>\n

                    15. Insurance and Liability<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Corail H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Ltd maintains all insurance policies and civil liability coverage required for its activities as a commercial air carrier.<\/p>\n

                    Passenger liability coverage is provided in accordance with limits comparable to those established under the Warsaw Convention governing international air transport.<\/p>\n

                    Personal belongings carried by passengers are not covered by the Company’s insurance policies.<\/p>\n

                    Passengers are responsible for obtaining any additional personal insurance they consider necessary.<\/p>\n

                    Corail H\u00e9licopt\u00e8res Ltd shall not be held liable for any damage resulting from the use of the Internet, including but not limited to data loss, unauthorized access, computer viruses, service interruptions or other technical malfunctions beyond its control.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    15.1 Medical Fitness, Anxiety and Emergency Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Passengers declare that they are medically fit to participate in the flight and that they are in possession of their full physical and mental capacities.<\/p>\n

                    Emergency Assistance<\/p>\n

                    However, the Company shall not be held liable for the response times or actions of third-party emergency services, including ambulance services, fire and rescue services, police authorities or private medical providers.<\/p>\n
