“The Legal Committee of the China Air Transport Association (CATA) has been devoted for many years to the development of legal practice in the Chinese civil aviation industry in which it plays a decisive role. The English edition of the casebook on China Aviation Law published by the Legal Committee of CATA in China in January 2016 and including a selection of approximately 54 representative cases with short legal analysis gives a comprehensive and practical overview on the evolution of Chinese case law in the aviation sector between 2000 and 2015. It will allow many airline professionals to acquire better knowledge and understanding of the Chinese aviation market and legal environment and can only be highly recommended to anyone involved and interested in the Chinese aviation industry.”

“This compendium of cases in the Peoples' Republic of China is an important and timely addition to the world of aviation law.
Air travel in the Chinese market has been experiencing exponential growth, and with it a corresponding increase in regulation and awareness in passenger rights. An increase in claimant activities will come as no surprise, a development seen in other jurisdictions also.
This repository of key cases is an appropriate attempt to capture the fast developing jurisprudence in aviation law in an air travel market that is set to continue growing. It is an invaluable tool of reference for legal practitioners and scholars in the Peoples' Republic of China as it is for international practitioners and scholars in aviation law.”
