Short Course: Aviation Law

Course Outline

The course offers an overview of air transport regulation from the birth of international civil aviation with the conclusion of the 1919 Paris Convention and the 1944 Chicago Convention to date. It looks at the economic regulation of air transport, focusing on the legal challenges the industry faced in the periods of regulation and deregulation/liberalisation. Special emphasis is laid on State aid and competition law. The course also examines aviation's basket of measures to address its environmental footprint and combat climate change. Last, the role of civil aviation in national security and defence is discussed under the prism of two recent case studies, i.e. the closure of national airspaces in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the air blockade of Qatar.
