About This Program
This module provides an introduction to the topic of international aviation law. The module will explain why international law is a universal system of rules and principles concerning the relations with sovereign states, and relations between states and international organisations such as the United Nations and the International Civil Aviation Organisation. The aviation industry is regarded as the most strictly regulated and most internationally harmonised of any industry sector. It is therefore vital for people working in the aviation sector to understand this international law framework. The module also discusses why international law is generally considered to be split up between private international law and public international law. The module concludes with a discussion on the importance of the Montreal Convention 1999 in respect to carriage by air with case study examples.
