Review: Here the author looks into the future at all legal aspects of the aviation industry: commercial issues, liability issues, and the future of aviation in different regions. On the commercial side, he looks at alliances between airlines, aircraft leasing, slot allocation and airport congestion, privatisation of airports, Internet computer reservation systems and their copyright, the law and IT trade secrets, and carrying inadmissible passengers and refugees. Liability issues include: personal injury, spread of TB in a cabin, misconduct of the airline, negligence of the pilot, unruly passengers, transport of abducted children, and liability for the Global Navigation System. The last part of the book looks at the future of aviation in: North America, Asia, Africa, Europe and South America.
