Presentation
This curricular unit aims to make known the functioning of the civil aviation system at international, European and national level. To this end, the sources of air law and the history and development of this branch of law are addressed. We highlight the subject applicable to the use and occupation of airspace and the differentiation of Air Law vs. Space Law. The main International Conventions applicable to the sector are addressed, with special focus on the Convention on International Civil Aviation and its normative system, which will be studied in detail, in addition to the approach to major international, European and national civil aviation organizations. Conventions and other normative acts aimed at contributing to the safety and security of civil aviation, as well as the punishment of acts of unlawful interference against civil aviation, including the issue of disorder passengers and passengers' rights, will also be studied.
