The Impact of 9/11 on the European Union’s Fight Against Aviation Terrorism

Abstract

In the modern world, aviation terrorism represents the primary and unquestionably the most dangerous threat to air transportation. Despite the tightening of security measures, aviation terrorism and the international legal framework/standards regulating this criminal act remain the most significant challenges to this day. The European Union’s response to aviation terrorism is of particular interest, as the reactions and policies of European countries in this area have led to the establishment of new policy frameworks and standards.
