Mohd Owais Farooqui

Abstract :

 Civil aviation is a major industry providing rapid transportation and other high value services for the general public around the world. It plays a vital role in facilitating economic growth, trade and tourism. Commercial air transportation alone involves over 22.000 aircraft carrying over 2.2 billion passengers annually. The total value of goods transported by air represents 35% of all international trade. Over 40% of international tourists travel by air. Civil aviation is also a major employer, providing 32 million jobs globally, including 5.5 million of direct jobs in the airline and airport industry and civil aeronautical sector.[1] Air transport is also relatively safe compared to other modes of transport. In most regions of the world air accidents have become rare to the point that they make news headlines. Globally the number of passenger fatalities per 100 million passenger–kilometres flown in commercial air transport has fallen from 0.8 in 1960 to 0.08 in 1980, 0.03 in 1990 and has ranged between 0.05 and 0.01 since then[2]. The author attempts to analyze the safety oversight and enforcement in civil aviation with regard to the international nature of civil aviation and the dynamic concept of safety in civil aviation.
