the capacity of aircarft increased rapidly both for passengers and goods, flights

number exploded and the catered area covered almost the entire planet.

Also, aircraft revolutionized air warfare. Plenty of information discovered in

The International Air arriage ontract is a free!to!will agreement

established between the conveyor and the sender in which the first one ta"es

the commitment to carry individualized goods as charge in a certain period

of time, to receive and to load them at the departure place and to deliver at

the arrival point, being paid by the sender.

The specialized literature notes that, by its nature, the contract of carriage is

characterized by the existence of patrimonial relations governed according to theprinciple of e#uivalence of benefits.

&egulation of Aerial 'avigation, expressly provided the fact that each nation

territories and waters. The freedom of air traffic is recognized into and through

this space, "nown as national airspace. This freedom implies the right of

innocent passage of civil aircraft of other countries, exercised under conditions

determined by each state.

establish its own re#uirements in this area in national regulations.

uture development of international civil aviation can greatly help to create

and maintain friendship among nations and peoples of the world, while any

abuse of this development can become a threat to general security. Therefore it

is desirable to avoid any misunderstanding between nations and between peoples

and develop cooperation on which world peace depends .

In conclusion, there has to be an agreement on certain principles and

arrangements in order to develop international civil aviation in a safe and

orderly manner, to create new international air transport services on a basis of

e#ual opportunity for all and to operate them in a healthy economy.
