The German Civil Aviation Act

This book contains the English translation and the official text of the German Civil Aviation Act. For a better understanding of the Act, an introduction has been added, setting out the national, European, and international context. An outline of the Act is given, as well as an account of other German Acts and Regulations covering the field of aviation law. Furthermore, some practical issues related to aviation law are included. The need for such a translation emerged from the practical demand on the part of German lawyers, ministries, and other organizations for an English text that could be used as a basis for legal communication with foreign colleagues and organizations that conduct or wish to conduct aviation business in Germany. The book will be of interest to anyone dealing with German aviation law. This book is Volume 5 in the series Essential Air and Space Law, which establishes a collection of prominent studies in this particular field of law, especially for experienced law practitioners, policy makers in governments and international organizations, private entities, and scholars involved in the research and study of air traffic and space law.
