This comprehensive Companion presents a unique overview of the law and practice of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the UN’s specialized agency for global civil aviation.

Providing valuable insider insights, the Companion covers the objectives, structure and fields of work of ICAO. Its chapters discuss the organization’s indispensable role in the formulation and implementation of rules, policies, technical standards and recommended practices across the 193 member States, addressing major challenges such as fostering aviation safety and security, reducing emissions, upgrading air navigation services and protecting the flying public against cyber threats. Expert authors explain the major principles of the Convention on International Civil Aviation and its main technical Annexes, generating an insightful summary of applicable worldwide rules, standards and recommended practices.

The Elgar Companion to the Law and Practice of the International Civil Aviation Organization is an important read for scholars and practitioners in air transport regulation and public international law. Accessible yet rigorous, it is also an invaluable tool for all those wishing to familiarize themselves with the work of ICAO.
