1Opinion of the Court
CASTLE, Senior Circuit Judge.
We are presented with a dispute stemming from conflicting constructions of an aviation liability insurance policy. Defendant insurance company construes the contract of insurance as limiting personal injury recovery to $100,000 per passenger while plaintiffs contend that the policy should be read to limit recoveries by all injured passengers to $300,000. Since we agree with the district court that the defendant’s construction of the insurance policy is correct under the applicable principles of law, we affirm.
