Aviation Law is one of the specialty fields in the Studies of Law. Air Law covers the special characteristics and demands of the aviation field. There is no governing body with the right to frame the air laws governing all states in the legal sense or there is not any international law. But the phrase Air Law is used to describe a system of implicit and explicit agreements that the nations together. These agreements are known as conventions. There are numerous conventions such as Chicago, Rome, Tokyo, Geneva, and a few more.<\/p>\n

It is a branch of law that is concerned with air transport operations, and all the associated legal and business concerns. This is a series of rules that governs the use of airspace for aviation, and its benefits for the general public and the nations of the world. The first attempt to set the air law was made around 1910 when German air balloons repeatedly trespassed over French territory. The French government wanted both governments to come together to form an agreement to resolve the problem. The Paris Conference of 1910 was in favor of the sovereignty of states in the space above their territories.<\/p>\n

It started developing further when after World War I, the first scheduled flight from Paris to London took its first flight in 1909. Roman law and other ancient land systems generally granted all rights in the airspace to the owner of the underlying land. The first law specifically applicable to aircraft was a local ordinance enacted in Paris in 1784, one year after the first hot air balloon flight by the Montgolfier brothers. Several court cases involving balloonists were tried in common law jurisdictions during the 19th century.<\/p>\n

Development of public international law:<\/h4>\n

Balloons were used in the Franco-German War of 1870\u201371, and the First Hague Conference of 1899 set a five-year moratorium on the use of balloons in combat operations, which was not renewed by the Second Hague Conference (1907). Prior to World War I, several nations signed bilateral agreements regarding the legal status of international flights, and during the war, several nations took the step of prohibiting flights over their territory. Several competing multilateral treaty regimes were established in the wake of the war, including the Paris Convention of 1919, Ibero-<\/p>\n

American Convention (1926) and the Havana Convention (1928).<\/p>\n
