Dear Reader,
I am pleased to introduce the 12th edition of ICLG – Aviation Law published by Global Legal Group on the occasion of IATA’s 2024 World Legal Symposium. This edition is an excellent resource for expert commentary and analysis of leading developments in aviation law.
IATA is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing approximately 320 airlines and 83% of global air traffic. The scope and breadth of the legal issues our airline members are facing is evolving at pace. In addition to traditional aviation law topics such as the application of the liability conventions, aviation lawyers now must be conversant in consumer protection, advertising standards and data privacy compliance matters. Legal challenges presented by aviation’s environmental goals are increasingly complex and diverse. Litigation relating to aviation industry participants communications about those very goals are moving forward in many jurisdictions. I would like to thank Global Legal Group for its contribution to the work of in-house aviation lawyers throughout the Guide and also for their support of the World Legal Symposium.
