ABSTRACT
Air law and space law are inevitably heading towards common ground in the new millennium, particularly in the light of boundaries between air space and outer space being obviated by aerospace transport and the inherent nature of the modern spacecraft. This trend will incontrovertibly bring to bear a compelling need to define a more coherent structure of world governance for aerospace transport. It can be envisaged that the United Nations will forge ahead with cooperation between specialized agencies dealing with civil aviation and outer space exploration and transport, particularly on common ground such as regulating the aerospace plane and the use of extraterrestrial satellites for the purpose of air navigation. It envisages that well into the new millennium, the commonalities between air law and space law will be more defined and apparent. In order that this be achieved, firstly, a uniform code of conduct should be considered as an enforceable set of rules for both aviation and outer space issues.
