Forms of Transport Safety in Air Transport

Abstract

In the article with the help of the complex system analysis of the legal phenomena the forms of maintenance of transport safety on air transport are considered. The urgency of the topic is determined by the need to increase the level of aviation security. In air transport, the issues of interaction of entities that provide different types of security in one transport complex, are not properly regulated, which leads to organisational, informational and other management barriers. The purpose of the article is to study the forms of transport safety in terms of interaction and coordination of the activities of special competence bodies in civil aviation. Formal-legal and comparative-legal research methods are used. As a result of studying the organisational system of ensuring transport safety in air transport, the statuses of executive bodies, operational headquarters, commissions established at airports, and transport safety forces are characterised. Achieving the rule of law in the area under consideration is impossible without classifying transport safety as a strategic national task, to be solved, along with state, in particular, law enforcement agencies, under their patronage and control, related to the priority legal status of the latter must be not only employees of carriers are involved, but also divisions and forces of maintenance of transport safety. A solution to the problem that negatively affects the state of transport safety, on legal uncertainty in the delimitation of territorial, object, zonal and functional competence of law enforcement agencies, and others, including non-state actors in aviation security in the context of determining areas of activity this type of security.
