Air was 'free for all' prior to the advent of civil, commercial, and military use of aircrafts. Today, by virtue of international air law there exists no 'freedom to fly'. As we know, the birth of any legal rule depends on its necessity, the need for a unified legal regime on aviation operations was felt subsequent to the first World War. States sought to protect their sovereign territory by restricting foreign aircrafts, while also ensuring that the private rights of their citizens are respected at 35,000 ft in the air. This publication seeks to discuss the modern international regime in light of various significant case studies and case laws. We hope that this book will serve all of the potential readers.
