Air & Space Law Committee
The Air & Space Law Committee addresses a wide range of aviation and space law-related issues, including the development and application of emerging aviation technologies, the expansion of commercial space operations, and various legal and policy challenges facing both commercial and general aviation.
We welcome attorneys (and law students) working in various areas of law. Current and past Committee members have practiced in a variety of fields, including personal injury and commercial litigation, finance, intellectual property law, corporate law, and regulatory law.
We hold monthly meetings and invite Committee members as well as leaders in aviation and space law to present on issues of interest. We also organize City Bar-wide events open to the public. In the past year alone, the Committee has heard from leaders in New York City and the federal government, professors and legal scholars, as well as an executive from the largest U.S. aircraft manufacturer.
The Committee also publishes periodic newsletters, commentary, and position papers on air and space-law related issues. We recently formed a sub-committee to address the FAA’s recently issued proposed rulemaking on beyond-visual-line-of-site drone operations and look forward to engaging with members of the aviation and legal community on this topic.
