"This course aims to provide students with knowledge of the governance of international civil aviation, including economic regulation of air services. It starts with a discussion of the constitution of international civil aviation, the Chicago Convention of 1944, which is based on sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and the responsibility of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for promoting safety, security, and protection of the environment.\n\nThe course moves on to economic regulation as laid down in the Chicago Convention, ICAO Assembly Resolutions and Council Decisions, air services agreements concluded between sovereign States and, in some cases, international organisations such as the EU. This is followed by a review of steps taken to liberalise air transport services, with special attention paid to European air law, including Regulation (EC) 1008/2008, and EU external relations. Other topics include slot allocation, airport charges and market liberalisation and deregulation in other parts of the world.\n\nThis course also addresses the regulatory regimes pertaining to air traffic management, the investigation of accidents, and global market-based measures (MBMs) developed to address the challenge of aviation-related emissions. Other recent developments are also considered, such as the increased use of drones, new cybersecurity risks, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), labour protections for transport workers, and the closure by States of airspace.\n\nOutcome:\nUpon completion of this course, students should be able to:\n\nDefine the fundamental principles of public international air law;\n\nExplain the rules and their applicability for liability as addressed under public air law;\n\nAnalyse legal issues pertaining to public air law matters and the most important case law to propose possible ways of addressing such issues;\n\nApply public air law instruments and case law at the international and EU levels;\n\nSolve practical case studies; and\n\nUndertake an individual research project in the area of public air law." . .

"The Advanced Master’s Programme in Air and Space Law is a combination of public air law, private air law and space law, from both an international and European perspective. The programme which has been running since September 2000, and which was internationally accredited in 2007, is unique in the world. In addition to its international focus, the programme also has a clearly defined European dimension and, without neglecting academic levels, pays specific attention to professional applications through its guest lecturers, excursions and in particular through its internship requirement.\n\nThe dynamic nature of the aviation and space sector and the pace in which both sectors expand requires constant attention. In recent years, courses have been restructured to incorporate new developments and challenges these sectors are faced with and to match better with the industry’s needs.\n\nThe courses in the programme introduce a wide variety of topics that are taught by the institute’s faculty staff, visiting professors from other countries and distinguished legal practitioners who are experts in their respective specialised fields of air and space law. Intensive interaction between students and teachers is fostered, typically resulting in greater involvement on the side of the students and, consequently, better results. Students gain a solid legal foundation in this exciting field, and those willing to go the extra mile can enrich their study further by tapping into the institute’s resources and network to deepen their knowledge of specific topics and the sector as a whole."@en . .
