Aviation Law

It is well-known that international conventions form the backbone of the regulation of international aviation, contributing to the standardization of standards and facilitating cooperation among nations. These conventions cover a wide range of vital aspects, including the regulation of airspace crossing, landing and takeoff procedures at international airports, and ensuring the implementation of operational safety standards for aircraft, regardless of their nationality. These international mechanisms enhance the effectiveness of commercial exchange and personal mobility across borders, underscoring the urgent need for understanding and international agreement in managing the shared skies among nations.

In the aviation sector, legal challenges appear in various complex forms, requiring airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and ground service providers to face them professionally. These challenges may include the necessity to comply with new regulatory regulations issued by the civil aviation authority, or revolve around the best ways to settle compensation claims from passengers affected by malfunctions or accidents, or deal with issues arising from cargo shipment.
