The course in International Aviation Law examines the relevant principles and rules of international law that affect the use of air space and aeronautics. The course focuses on the major international aviation conventions and treaties and case law that govern the carriage by air of passengers, baggage and cargo. The course also considers the laws that establish liability in the event of an air 'accident' involving injury to passengers, or damage and loss of cargo or baggage. The course will provide lawyers, students at law and aviation professionals with the legal knowledge required to operate more effectively and with more confidence of the legal issues and consequences of their actions in the aviation industry or work within associated industry sectors.
