'Havel and Sanchez have written a magisterial volume on international aviation law, one that belongs on the desk of every scholar and practitioner in the field. Filling a decades-old gap in the legal literature, they have rendered the aviation community an enormous service with a balanced and nuanced treatment of the full panoply of air law, including the most contentious issues.' John Byerly, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Transportation Affairs
'The Principles and Practice of International Aviation Law is to be greatly welcomed as a forward-looking update to existing aviation law publications. Reminiscent of the 'Chicago School' of economics, authors Havel and Sanchez represent a 'Chicago School' of aviation law that is leaving its own distinct footprint on the global aviation community. The book employs a broadly contextualized and innovative approach to complete a topical picture of international aviation law in an interesting and practical manner as rightly suggested by the title.' Pablo Mendes de Leon, Universiteit Leiden

Anyone interested in the subject should want a copy.' Michael E. Levine, Distinguished Research Scholar and Senior Lecturer, New York University School of Law
