Looking at the current air traffic system developments and the use of satellite for communication, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management, an emerging trend of institutions and law can be observed. This thesis assesses the institutional and legal contributions of the satellite services to civil aviation. / This thesis is divided into three parts. Part I sets the scene by giving the reader a brief look at the technical side of the current air navigation system. Chapter I explores the current system's deficiencies and Chapter II explains the framework of selected existing aeronautical and general operating satellite systems and institutions. / Part II deals with the prospective long-range needs of air navigation. Chapter III focuses on the characteristics and capabilities of the new systems and Chapter IV sets out the available financial options. / Part III deals with the vital legal and institutional aspects involved in using satellite systems for civil aviation purposes. Chapter V reviews the legal problems of safety and non-safety aeronautical air-ground communications, Chapter VI identifies the current applicable air, space and telecommunication law, and their impact on the new systems, Chapter VII deals with the institutional aspects of the new systems and Chapter VIII sets out this writer's recommendations. Lastly, final remarks are presented.
