Air transportation had a spectacular evolution in a very short period of time: 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 aerodynamics, belongs to military scientists and engineers. 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 the principle of e#uivalence of benefits. The Paris onvention of $%$%, also "nown as onvention &elating to the &egulation of Aerial 'avigation, expressly provided the fact that each nation has absolute and exclusive sovereignity over the airspace which overlies its 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. (e have to mention that there are no international regulations to impose an uniform legal framewor" for the operation of ultralight and light aircraft used in particular interests) general aviation*. Therefore, each state has to establish its own re#uirements in this area in national regulations. 'othing is perfect in this world except for security and safety of a flight. (hile safety measures are meant to reduce the number of wor" accidents ) unintentional*, security measures are ta"en in order to prevent and avoid voluntary actions that may occur. +afety conditions are improved from year to year. The program of IATA ) International Air Transport Association * reflects the new strategy used to reach this goal. This program is an integrated system that contributes to the continuous improvement of safety in carrying out operational activities of the airline industry.

,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.
