Abstract

The foregoing discussion pertained solely to civil airports. The Chicago Convention, by virtue of Article 3 asserts that the Convention applies only to civil aircraft, thus excluding State aircraft. This presumption extends to the Annexes to the Convention as well as the ICAO manuals that have so far been discussed in this book. However, there is no specific exclusion of military aircraft landing at civilian airports. Furthermore, in terms of domestic airports, this distinction between civil and military airports is blurred. For example, in the United States there are 23 military airfields that follow the joint use concept of having both military and civil aircraft landing at and taking off from them.
