The recent expansion of air trucking operations in Europe has put a strain on the traditional concept of air carrier's liability. / Short-haul pick-up and delivery services have gradually given way to a more complex pattern of hubbing and substitute transport by road, possibly undertaken without consent of the consignor of the goods. / In the absence of a set of international rules for multimodal transport, each segment is subject to a separate legal regime. An evolutive interpretation of the original Warsaw Convention, though, fits the newly developed bimodal operations prima facie into the sphere of air carrier's liability. / Problems of delay are dealt with using an elaborate model on the concept of time in the several branches of transport law. The spectrum is completed by a discussion on the plurality of the parties involved in the entire process.
