Legislative Developments in the Aviation Sector in 2011

Abstract

The Polish Aviation Law Act of 3 July 2002 was amended six times in 2011. The only major change introduced in this period resulted from the Amendment Act to the Aviation Law Act of 30 June 2011, most of which entered into force 30 days after its publication1. In fact, changes introduced thereby were so widespread and crucial to the entire aviation sector that it can easily be referred to as a completely new law. Considerable effort went into the preparation of this Act – its first draft was presented as early as 2009 followed by long consultations and the ultimate introduction of a number of further changes.
