For a better understanding of the Act, an introduction has been added, setting out the history of the Aviation Code and its ramifications. An outline of the Code is given and an account of other Russian Federation legislation covering the field of aviation law.

The aim of this book is to assist in presenting and clarifying the applicable aviation law in the Russian Federation by providing a professional English translation of the Russian Aviation Code. The book is a welcome addition to the literature in the field and should be of interest to anyone dealing with aviation law.
