Air Traffic Control vs. Human Traffic Control: Is Biosecurity Converting Aviation Law Into a Globalized, Transnational Law Regime of Data, Detection, and Demography?

In this commentary article, the author considers the impact of biosecurity on aviation law based on data, detection, and demographics. The author notes that, because aviation law combines international and domestic law, it has arisen in a more-flexible way than other fields of law. The author contends that air transportation is not just a simple means of travel but an inherent means of freedom of movement as well as freedom of trade and commerce across jurisdictions. Topics discussed include post-deregulation growth of commercial airline travel; the modern political intervention into aviation; the interplay of air travel, technology, law, and behavior; and cooperation between public and private sectors and whether that cooperation dips into collusion. The author concludes that the biosecurity framework can be both positive and negative for the air travel industry.
