Aviation law – the passion, the challenge and the future

Aviation law - the passion, the challenge and the future

As the aviation industry evolves, aviation law is one of the most dynamic and challenging areas of law. The aviation industry is adapting to new technologies and to global challenges such as sustainability and airspace safety. It is essential to create a regulatory environment which keeps up with this rapid change in order to ensure the stability and security of the sector.

At Lazarski University, the Faculty of Law and Administration stands out as a place where theory meets practice. It’s here that the study of law becomes a true passion. Students have the opportunity not only to study legal issues, but also to understand the unique characteristics and challenges of the aviation industry, thanks to cooperation with aviation industry experts.

Aviation Law and Professional Pilot Licence

Combining the profession of a lawyer with a passion for aviation opens up unlimited career opportunities for graduates. Specialized legal knowledge and practical preparation enable them to play key roles in a sector that demands both precision and innovation. Graduates can become pillars of legal operations in the industry, supporting its dynamic growth and adaptation to international regulations and standards.

In addition to studying aviation law, there is also the opportunity to obtain a pilot’s license in response to modern market needs. Studying Aviation Law and Professional Pilot Licence at Lazarski Aviation Academy makes this possible. This unique combination of skills will enable future pilots not only to perform their duties in the air, but also to actively participate in management processes, understand regulatory complexities, and respond to key trends such as digitalization and sustainability.

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global demand for civil pilots will exceed half a million by 2044. This forecast underscores the necessity of educating specialists capable of meeting both technological and regulatory challenges in this dynamic industry.

The profession of pilot - irreplaceable in spite of technology

In spite of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and advanced technologies, the profession of a pilot is still indispensable. Efforts are underway to reduce the number of pilots in the cockpit from two to one. However, these solutions are highly controversial. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is currently evaluating the proposal for “extended minimum crew operations” (eMCO), which would require the presence of two pilots on board, but only one in the cockpit at any given time.

At the same time, the concept of Single Pilot Operation (SiPO) is being explored, under which a passenger aircraft would be operated by a single pilot. However, such a solution seems unlikely until it can be conclusively demonstrated that it meets the highest safety standards.

Demand for pilots is high. Combining piloting skills and aviation law expertise is key to success in the job market. Law-trained pilots understand the regulations, can help organizations adapt, and can combine practical and strategic knowledge. This professional profile fits perfectly with the growing needs of modern aviation and offers promising opportunities in this dynamically developing sector.
