ABSTRACT
The International Civil Aviation Organisation framework, which constitutes the Chicago Convention with Annexes and two treaties on air freedoms, will be entirely intact after Brexit. The UK, which is a member of the European Civil Aviation Conference, has joined several conventions adopted under the auspices of this organisation. The UK is also a party to one more aviation security convention – the 1991 Convention on the marking of plastic explosives, which will be intact after Brexit. Civil liability issues in aviation were already unified at the international level already in the 1929 Warsaw Convention, which has been amended and supplemented several times. This act was later complemented by the 1999 Montreal Convention. Aviation security and criminal law is a branch of legislation which lies largely in the national competences of the EU member states. This part of law is internationally organised within several treaties, to which the UK is a party, and sometimes even the depositary.
