Global aviation is undergoing a profound technological and regulatory transformation. A newly published English-language handbook examines this complex international regulatory framework, bridging the gap between academia and practice.
Under the title “Aviation Law” renowned aviation law expert Prof. em. Dr. Stephan Hobe, Dr. Moritz Heile (a partner at the Berlin-based law firm GOODVICE), and Carl Crüwell have produced a systematic reference work. Spanning 264 pages, the book – published by Nomos – examines the fundamental pillars of international aviation law, covering topics ranging from liability issues in the transport of passengers and cargo to rights concerning aircraft and the investigation of aviation accidents.
Focus on the transformation of the industry
Examining the current drivers of the industry is particularly valuable for modern aviation practice. The authors dedicate specific chapters to the pressing legal challenges of our time:
- New technologies: The regulatory integration of drones, autonomous transport, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
- Safety & environment: Legal frameworks concerning cybersecurity, as well as increasingly stringent climate protection requirements in aviation.
- Infrastructure & interfaces: The regulation of commercial airports, military aspects, and the fluid transitions into space law.
Bridge between theory and practice
This work is aimed equally at legal professionals and practitioners working within the legal departments of airlines, airport operators, and insurance companies. Thanks to its clear structure, however, it also offers non-lawyers from the fields of management, policy, and administration a reliable gateway to the international legal framework.
