The Civil Aviation Laws in Israel began their development since the independence of the State in 1948. They comprise of five main Aviation Acts and various executive regulations which facilitate the conduct of the civil aviation industry. / The basic aviation act, although modified and supplemented by native Israeli aviation laws is the Air Navigation Act: It was drafted in the 1920's by Great Britain and was incorporated into the legal system of the newly born state. / A review of the development of civil aviation law in Israel has not yet been completed by a single study considering its fundamental provisions, namely providing analysis of international and domestic sources, aviation organizations and policies. / Historically, the political situation in the Middle East has exerted influence on Israel's civil aviation policies. Now that the region is on the verge of a new era of peace, Israeli policy in this field will further be affected. Undoubtedly, a new way of thinking will have to emerge in order to face the possibilities and challenges that peace will bring. / The purpose of this thesis is therefore to describe, analyze and evaluate the basic features of aviation law and aviation policies of Israel.

Airport access has become a scarce resource in civil aviation. In part 1, this thesis uses the example of Frankfurt Airport to introduce to the phenomenon of airport congestion and argues that states are under a legal obligation to prevent a situation in which airports can no longer keep pace with the rapid growth of civil air transport. In part 2, possible remedies to airport congestion at FRA are identified and discussed in depth. Part 3 concludes with the argument that the expansion of the runway system at Frankfurt Airport will prove inevitable. However, since the expansion capabilities of airports are generally limited, it is further argued that airport access will remain as a scarce resource in the future. As a result, dealing with airport congestion should not be understood as synonymous with airport expansion. Instead, all available options should be identified and employed so that airport access can be allocated on a more reflective basis, taking into account measures which will prevent or at least minimize congestion in the future.

The recent expansion of air trucking operations in Europe has put a strain on the traditional concept of air carrier's liability. / Short-haul pick-up and delivery services have gradually given way to a more complex pattern of hubbing and substitute transport by road, possibly undertaken without consent of the consignor of the goods. / In the absence of a set of international rules for multimodal transport, each segment is subject to a separate legal regime. An evolutive interpretation of the original Warsaw Convention, though, fits the newly developed bimodal operations prima facie into the sphere of air carrier's liability. / Problems of delay are dealt with using an elaborate model on the concept of time in the several branches of transport law. The spectrum is completed by a discussion on the plurality of the parties involved in the entire process.

Product liability is now regulated by a specific regime. But to be quite honest, it must be admitted that aircraft manufacturers are in a scarcely enviable position now. They produce equipment which is not only increasingly costly and efficient but which may have a useful life of up to thirty years or more. Then, there is a risk that the insurance market will be not available or at least sufficient. Consequently, the establishment of a special system concerning exceptionally serious accidents and a common fund are necessary.
