Acts of terrorism in airports: Air carriers, states and airport operators' liability and security duty

Norberto E. Luongo

Journal of Airport Management, 2011, vol. 5, issue 2, 134-159

Abstract: Terrorist attacks are nothing new, but some venues in which they occur are. During recent decades, airport facilities have been the setting for some of the most criminal actions committed against civil aviation. This paper discusses the current legal scheme allocating responsibility and liability in international transportation, and introduces some concerns about recent legislation that pretends to alter the current status quo.
