This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: 0,0, Trinity College Dublin, course: International Aviation Law, language: English, abstract: When Paul Fauchille presented his dictum “[a]irspace should be free as the High Seas [...] States should only have the territorial powers up to an altitude of 300 metres." to the public in 1901, it did not take long until the international community disagreed strongly. The fear of espionage, attacks and other abuse was too great to give up sovereignty over the own territories’ airspace. This essay presents Fauchille’s idea of the freedom of the air (Chapter 2) and compares it with a concept of airspace sovereignty (Chapter 3), focussing on origin, arguments, logical consistency as well as international and national state practice. Further, it will be analysed whether current trends towards a liberalised market in scheduled international civil aviation could influence the legal status of the air (Chapter 4). Finally, remaining fields of strict sovereignty on the international political stage will be identified (Chapter 5), before a conclusion is drawn (Chapter 6). The legal status of the air was not questioned for a long time. The states’ inability to control the airspace and the circumstance that manned flights were not operated on a regular basis yet seems to have deterred states from any claims of sovereignty. However, the technological progress and the first short balloon flights in the late 18th century attracted the public’s attention. Among others, the French lawyer and pioneer of air law Paul Auguste Fauchille developed his own concept for the legal status of the air, which will be outlined in the next chapter.
Download or read book Beyond Open Skies written by Brian F. Havel and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Beyond Open Skies' offers a systematic comparative analysis of the legal and policy dimensions of airline deregulation by federal fiat in the United States and by supranational collaboration in the European Union. The book draws upon a variety of sources, including very recent developments in U.S. and EC international aviation law, policy, and diplomacy, to propose a genuine multilateral air transport system. It examines the potential of the 'open skies' initiative, in the aftermath of the new U.S./EC air transport agreement, to inspire a genuine globalization of the world's air transport industry in such crucial aspects as the following: cabotage; ownership and citizenship requirements; route selection; airline identity; capacity; pricing regimes; competition and public aid; regulatory harmonization; labor laws; provisions for charter and/or cargo transportation; fair operation of and access to computer reservations systems; authorization of code-sharing arrangements; alliances and antitrust immunity; and dispute resolution.

Download or read book The Geography of Transport Systems written by Jean-Paul Rodrigue and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a planet somewhere in the galaxy, the last free nation has fallen. A tyrant rules with an iron fist, and his regime plans and governs the very lives of all citizens. Those who disagree with the tyrant are charged with sedition and severely punished. Armo Torndale, a senior officer with State Security, loyally serves the tyrant, but as the regime's oppression of the people tightens, he starts having doubts. When he is forced to witness the brutal killing of a helpless woman by the tyrant's most vicious henchmen, he has had enough. He leaps from his cozy, privileged life into the unknown of leading a group of freedom refugees on a long trek away from oppression. But there is nowhere to go on their planet: tyranny reigns everywhere. Their last hope is to set up camp on a mountaintop and wait for the Danori, an alien race who have pledged to come rescue them. While they endure enormous hardship and run down their last food supplies, the tyrant sends out a group of commandos to track them down and kill them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa, where poor roads, ports, and railways often constrain efficient transportation, air transport holds great potential as a lever for economic growth and development. Yet Africa has suffered several decades of inefficient air services. Uncompetitive flag carriers, set up by newly independent African states, offered primarily intercontinental flights, while the domestic air service market remained underdeveloped and underserved. The 1999 pan-African treaty on liberalization of access to air transport markets, the Yamoussoukro Decision, attempted to address these shortcomings. Yet a decade later, only partial liberalization has been achieved. 'Open Skies for Africa: Implementing the Yamoussoukro Decision' reviews progress made in carrying out the treaty and suggests ways in which the liberalization process can be encouraged. The book analyzes the completed and still-pending steps toward implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision, both on a pan-African level and within various regions. Special focus is given to the challenges posed by the poor aviation safety and security standards that exist in most African countries. Finally, the book measures the impact that certain policy steps of the Yamoussoukro Decision have had and evaluates the economic significance of air transportation and its full liberalization in Africa. The book concludes that the process of liberalizing African air services must continue, and provides policy recommendations for the way forward.

Download or read book Working the Skies written by Drew Whitelegg and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A well-written and thorough treatment of the occupational demands and biography of the flight attendant. Working the Skies describes both how the work shapes the personal lives of those in the profession, as well as how work can be 'chosen' in an effort to craft a particular kind of life. The book also illustrates how the process of globalization has moved the profession 'backwards' in terms of working conditions and compensation-challenges faced by workers in numerous other professions."--Veronica Jaris Tichenor, author of Earning More And Getting Less: Why Successful Wives Can't Buy EqualityGet ready for takeoff. The life of the flight attendant, a.k.a., stewardess, was supposedly once one of glamour, exotic travel and sexual freedom, as recently depicted in such films as Catch Me If You Can and View From the Top. The nostalgia for the beautiful, carefree and ever helpful stewardess perhaps reveals a yearning for simpler times, but nonetheless does not square with the difficult, demanding and sometimes dangerous job of today's flight attendants. Based on interviews with over sixty flight attendants, both female and male labor leaders, and and drawing upon his observations while flying across the country and overseas, Drew Whitelegg reveals a much more complicated profession, one that in many ways is the quintessential job of the modern age where life moves at record speeds and all that is solid seems up in the air.Containing lively portraits of flight attendants, both current and retired, this book is the first to show the intimate, illuminating, funny, and sometimes dangerous behind-the-scenes stories of daily life for the flight attendant. Going behind the curtain, Whiteleggventures into first-class, coach, the cabin, and life on call for these men and women who spend week in and
Download or read book Sovereign Skies written by Sean Seyer and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pathbreaking history of the regulatory foundations of America's twentieth-century aerial preeminence. Today, the federal government possesses unparalleled authority over the atmosphere of the United States. Yet when the Wright Brothers inaugurated the air age on December 17, 1903, the sky was an unregulated frontier. As increasing numbers of aircraft threatened public safety in subsequent decades and World War I accentuated national security concerns about aviation, the need for government intervention became increasingly apparent. But where did authority over the airplane reside within America's federalist system? And what should US policy look like for a device that could readily travel over physical barriers and political borders? In Sovereign Skies, Sean Seyer provides a radically new understanding of the origins of American aviation policy in the first decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on the concept of mental models from cognitive science, regime theory from political science, and extensive archival sources, Seyer situates the development, spread, and institutionalization of a distinct American regulatory idea within its proper international context. He illustrates how a relatively small group of bureaucrats, military officers, industry leaders, and engineers drew upon previous regulatory schemes and international principles in their struggle to define government's relationship to the airplane. In so doing, he challenges the current domestic-centered narrative within the literature and delineates the central role of the airplane in the reinterpretation of federal power under the commerce clause. By placing the origins of aviation policy within a broader transnational context, Sovereign Skies highlights the influence of global regimes on US policy and demonstrates the need for continued engagement in world affairs. Filling a major gap in the historiography of aviation, it will be of interest to readers of aviation, diplomatic, and legal history, as well as regulatory policy and American political development.
