This book offers an extraordinary wealth of information, from the ground up, of the law governing and regulating air transport today, with a strong emphasis on international aviation. A team of distinguished authors in the field of aviation law provide a cogent synthesis from which sound legal opinions and strategies of legal action may be confidently built. Among the many topics here in depth are the following:

definition and classification of airspace;
distinction between civil and state aircraft;
air navigation and air traffic control services;
airport charges and overflight charges;
structure of ICAO;
standard-setting functions and audit functions of ICAO;
functions of the International Air Transport Association (IATA);
policy and effects of deregulation and liberalization of air transport policy;
the International Registry for Aircraft Equipment;
air carrier liability regimes and claims procedure;
measures to combat aviation terrorism, air piracy and sabotage; and
the Open Skies Agreements.

This publication cites significant legislation and court rulings, including from the United States and the European Union, where far-reaching measures on market access, competition and passenger rights have set trends for other regions of the world. The special case of Latin America has a chapter to itself. At a time when commercial aircraft have been used as lethal weapons for the first time, aviation law finds itself in the front line of responsibility for maintaining global aviation security.
