    Evolution of Air Law
    (2025) Abid Jameel; Raja M. Shaban
    This research examines the historical evolution of air law, tracing its development from the Wright Brothers' first flight in 1903 through key international treaties like the Paris Convention (1919), Warsaw Convention (1929), and Chicago Convention (1944), which established airspace sovereignty, airline liability, and global aviation standards. It also explores post-World War II conventions, such as the Geneva Convention (1948), Rome Convention (1952), and Tokyo Convention (1963), addressing aircraft financing, third-party liability, and onboard crimes. The study highlights air law's adaptation to modern challenges like terrorism, environmental concerns, and technological advancements, analyzing conventions such as The Hague Convention (1970), Montreal Convention (1971), and Cape Town Convention (2001). Recent treaties like the Beijing Convention (2010) and Beijing Protocol (2016) are discussed in the context of combating cyberattacks and 21st-century threats. The research identifies gaps in historical analysis, educational tools, and addressing contemporary issues like sustainability and new technologies. It proposes accessible educational resources, such as visual posters and digital tools, to improve understanding. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of air law, which has continuously adapted to technological advancements, security threats, and the need for international cooperation. The research concludes with recommendations for future studies, including the expansion of legal framework analysis, the incorporation of case studies, and the development of interactive digital platforms to enhance the accessibility and relevance of air law education.
