This book embarks on a discussion of rulemaking in air transport, its
processes and legalities, starting with a deconstruction of work carried
out at the time of writing in various fields of air transport by the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) which should be at the
apex of rulemaking. This initial discussion, which demonstrates the
weakness of rulemaking in the air transport field for lack of direction,
purpose and structure in the development of authoritative rules and
regulations that should serve as compelling directives from the main
organization responsible for aviation, leads to an evaluation of the
fundamental principles of rulemaking in ICAO, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) of the United States and the European Commission
(EC).
