Description
Book SynopsisAviation Law and Policy in Asia: Smart Regulation in Liberalised Markets examines the evolution of aviation law and policy in selected Asian jurisdictions and analyses the dynamic regulatory challenges that each jurisdiction faces. Prominent aviation law and policy experts in Asia analyse topics such as air transport liberalisation, the regulation of air operator certificates, legal issues about pilot strikes, traffic rights allocation, legal challenges arising from new types of aircraft, ticket pricing regulation, air services agreements, airport competitiveness and aircraft financing. The case studies and recommendations presented in this book both enrich theoretical debates and serve as a roadmap for understanding aviation law and policy in Asia.
Trade Review“If I would have to label this book in one catch word, I would use the word ‘insightful’. This book forms a meaningful addition to the existing air law literature. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of all those who closely follow this area of law.” Prof. Pablo Mendes de Leon (Leiden University) Air & Space Law 46, no. 4&5 (2021) “The book is well-structured and addresses in a systematic, yet dynamic, manner a collection of the most relevant legal, regulatory and political issues of air transport development in Asia. The book will - in no time- become the indispensable reference for everyone who has an interest in international, Asian and comparative aviation law.” Andrea Trimarchi (University of Cologne) German Journal of Air & Space Law 70, no.2 (2021)
