Critical Acclaim
‘This new book provides a portrait and analysis of air navigation services (ANS) and their legal implications. It fills a gap in the available international air law literature. In addition to discussing ANS, the related obligations of States under the Chicago Convention, the organisation of airspace for the purpose of service provision, and the legal status of service providers are discussed, as well as civil-military cooperation and the liability of ANS. Based on his more than 35-year experience in ANS, both practical and academic, the author has succeeded in providing an excellent, authoritative and comprehensive analysis for all parties dealing with the subject.’
– Ludwig Weber, McGill University, Canada

‘This book eminently and expertly explains all aspects of a very dynamic and multifaceted aeronautical activity which is designed to support the highest value of all, that is, safety. The prolific experience and legal diligence of the author are unrivalled. Indispensable for all aviation people.’
– Pablo Mendes de Leon, Professor of Air and Space Law, The Hague

‘This book provides an accessible yet comprehensive mapping of the law relating to air navigation services. Meticulously, it traces the historical development and discusses challenges such as cross-border operations, civil–military cooperation and unmanned aviation. The author’s professional experience adds to the work, which fills a gap in existing literature.’
– Steven Truxal, Full Professor of Air and Space Law, Leiden University, the Netherlands
