Unlawful interference with civil aviation has become a major concern for the world aviation community. The misuse of aircraft as a weapon of mass destruction has created new challenges. Air terrorism has moved from hijacking or unlawful seizure of aircraft to an in-flight explosion caused by sabotage and finally to September 11, 2001, to the use of a civil airplane as a weapon of destruction. / The events of September may be the biggest security challenge ever faced by the aviation industry. The impact of this tragic event on the global economy has been very harsh. The events have tended to obscure the fact that civil aviation continues to be an inherent safe mode of transport. / Great efforts are being made at the national and international levels to create a security net which is global in nature and so tight that not one further potential act of unlawful interference can slip through. However, the fact remains that, in weaving the net and designing measures with the objectives of preventing, combating and eradicating acts of terrorism involving civil aviation, it is prudent to be imaginative in assessing the threat, which could come from new directions and in new forms. / This thesis explores the implications of the 11 September 2001 events. A global strategy is initiated by ICAO and endorsed by the States, with the aim of protecting lives, restoring public confidence in air travel, and promoting the financial health of air transport. I will therefore examine the measures initiated by ICAO in response to the new challenges in aviation and which form the basis of the aviation security action plan. The perspective is that the events of 11 September have changed the world, and changed irrecoverably. Nothing will be the same for the aviation industry.
