Aviation Law

Global Aviation in Transition Legal Foundations, Trends and Developments Aviation is defined by constant change: from pioneering beginnings it has evolved into a globally interconnected transport system innovation-driven yet crisis-prone. Cybersecurity, climate protection, and geopolitical tensions challenge the legal framework, while air taxis, unmanned aircraft, and artificial intelligence put established rules to the test. Understanding international aviation requires a complete view of its regulatory architecture. Holistic Perspective The English-language handbook Aviation Law by Stephan Hobe, Moritz Heile, and Carl Crüwell provides an up-to-date, systematic and holistic overview of international aviation law, incorporating current trends in legislation, case law, and administrative practice. Besides covering established subjects, such as rights in aircraft, air traffic rights, air accident investigations, or air carrier liability, it moves beyond to address key issues like military aviation, airport regulation, and the relevant aspects of space law. Clear structure and practical focus Combining academic depth with extensive practical experience, the handbook discusses current legislative developments, emerging business models, and the transformation of air transportation. Additionally, topics of practical relevance such as cybersecurity, international cooperation and climate protection are systematically contextualized. Orientation in a complex regulatory environment Aviation is among the most heavily regulated sectors. Aviation Law guides readers through this dense framework and highlights links to adjacent areas of law, making it both an introduction and a reliable reference in a rapidly changing industry. Written in a clear and accessible style, it addresses practitioners (especially lawyers and in-house counsel in airlines, airports, and insurance), as well as courts, public authorities, and international organizations while also serving as a resource for non-lawyers dealing with aviation-related legal questions.

Klappentext

Global Aviation in Transition - Legal Foundations, Trends and Developments Aviation is defined by constant change: from pioneering beginnings it has evolved into a globally interconnected transport system - innovation-driven yet crisis-prone. Cybersecurity, climate protection, and geopolitical tensions challenge the legal framework, while air taxis, unmanned aircraft, and artificial intelligence put established rules to the test. Understanding international aviation requires a complete view of its regulatory architecture. Holistic Perspective The English-language handbook Aviation Law by Stephan Hobe, Moritz Heile, and Carl Crüwell provides an up-to-date, systematic and holistic overview of international aviation law, incorporating current trends in legislation, case law, and administrative practice. Besides covering established subjects, such as rights in aircraft, air traffic rights, air accident investigations, or air carrier liability, it moves beyond to address key issues like military aviation, airport regulation, and the relevant aspects of space law. Clear structure and practical focus Combining academic depth with extensive practical experience, the handbook discusses current legislative developments, emerging business models, and the transformation of air transportation. Additionally, topics of practical relevance such as cybersecurity, international cooperation and climate protection are systematically contextualized.

Aviation Law guides readers through this dense framework and highlights links to adjacent areas of law, making it both an introduction and a reliable reference in a rapidly changing industry. Written in a clear and accessible style, it addresses practitioners (especially lawyers and in-house counsel in airlines, airports, and insurance), as well as courts, public authorities, and international organizations - while also serving as a resource for non-lawyers dealing with aviation-related legal questions.
