AVIATION & AERONAUTICS LAW

This topic comprises aspects of administrative law and transportion law. It is somewhat com-

plex in that it falls, on the one hand, into federal competency (in that it frequently involves

interprovincial and international operation), but it is also a provincial matter when it deals

with purely local transport. Ultimately, however, this topic is greatly informed by a number

of related international conventions to which Canada is a signatory. See also TRANSPORTA-

TION LAW.

AÉRIEN (DROIT)

Le droit aérien comporte des aspects de droit ADMINISTRATIF et de droit des TRANSPORTS.

Ce qui le rend complexe, c’est, d’une part, le partage des compétences fédérales (interprovin-

cial et international) et provinciales (transport local) et, d’autre part, le recours au droit interna-

tional. Le transport aérien repose principalement sur de grandes conventions internationales

(dont celle dite « de Varsovie ») auxquelles le Canada a adhéré.
