Airline's duty of care?

Airlines have a legal and moral duty to ensure passenger safety throughout their journey. This includes maintaining aircraft, training staff, and responding appropriately to incidents. Offering rebooking, as Ryanair did for Ljubisa Karovic, is a basic step, but their broader responsibility extends to investigating the cause and providing adequate support for injuries sustained.
