    Adekumle Adesina, Respondent, v Swissair, Appellant.
    Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department,
    June 30, 1988
    APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Condon & Forsyth (Michael J. Holland and George N. Tompkins, III, of counsel), for appellant.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

Judgment unanimously reversed, without costs, and action dismissed.

Plaintiffs claim for damages resulting from the loss of baggage during an international flight was covered by article 28 (1) of the Warsaw Convention (Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Transportation by Air [49 US Stat 3000, TS No. 876, reprinted following 49 USCA § 1502]). Inasmuch as defendant is domiciled and has its principal place of business in Switzerland, and the place where the contract was made as well as the ultimate destination was Nigeria, the Civil Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction (see, Adesina v Swissair, 648 F Supp 997).
