First published in 1945, Shawcross and Beaumont: Air Law is the leading air law authority and an invaluable reference tool to stay at the forefront of this complex legal area. Written by nine specialist editors, it provides comprehensive and up-to-date material every six months on all aspects of international and national aviation law. There is full commentary on the Montreal Convention governing air carriage, the law relating to airports and related security issues, aviation and the environment, the rules as to airworthiness, aircraft maintenance, and the operations of aircraft, balloons and drones, the future of flight and the regulation of the UK space industry, aviation insurance and competition law, and passenger rights in respect of package travel, cancellations and delays. The volumes also contain the full text of the relevant international conventions, with regularly updated lists of parties, UK regulations, and IATA conditions of carriage.

Source Currency Issue 189 September 2024 This Issue brings the commentary entirely up to date to 30 June 2024. In a relatively quiet semester, it accounts for new case law of many courts, including the English High Court, several Courts of Appeals and District Courts in the USA, and the Court of Justice of the European Union on the Montreal Convention 1999, Regulation 261/2004, aircraft finance, package travel and jurisdiction. Amongst many other matters, this Issue also incorporates the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, which survived the 'wash-up' period ahead of the UK General Elections on 4 July 2024, the Civil Aviation (Environmental Protection) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/413), the Aviation Security (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/590), the Aviation Security (Air Cargo Agents) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/228) and the General Aviation (Persons on Board, Flight Information and Civil Penalties) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/470). It also reports on several decisions and reports of the UK CAA and the progress of several open consultations, such as the licensing of general aviation pilots. The next issue, updating the legislative and other material in the Appendices (volumes 2 to 4 of the printed edition), will be published in December 2024.
