Description
Global aviation and commerce operate on the assumption of a predictable, rules-based international order. However, as the global landscape shifts from integrated globalisation toward intense multipolar competition, various infrastructures have become a central battleground for legal and political struggles.
This talk explores the volatile intersection where escalating geopolitical friction directly collides with long-standing Bilateral Air Services Agreements (“ASAs”), Open Skies treaties, and cross-border infrastructure investment pacts. From airspace closures and weaponised economic sanctions to sovereign expropriation and ballooning war-risk insurance claims, the traditional legal frameworks governing global aviation are being tested like never before.
