Against the backdrop of enormous technological strides, this book
argues that the air transport industry must be constantly vigilant in
its efforts to employ a legal regime that is applicable to the
aeronautical and human aspects of the carriage by air of persons and
goods. In this regard, safety and security are of the utmost
importance, both in terms of safe air navigation and the preservation
of human life. Although the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) addresses legal issues through its Legal
Committee, many emerging issues that urgently require attention lie
outside the Committee’s purview. This book analyzes in detail the
items being considered by ICAO’s Legal Committee, considers the
legal nature of ICAO, and discusses whether or not ICAO’s scope
should be extended. Since the limited issues currently addressed by
ICAO do not reflect the rapidly changing realities of air transport,
the book also covers a broad range of key issues outside the
parameters set by ICAO, such as: the need to teach air law to a new
generation of aviation professionals; combating cyber-crime and
cyber-terrorism; the regulation of artificial intelligence; traveller
identification; interference with air navigation; human trafficking;
unruly passengers; climate change; air carrier liability for passenger
death or injury; Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (drones); and the
cabin crew and their legal implications.
