Germany: Privatization of Air Traffic Control

You are subscribed to Legal Research Reports from Library of Congress. This information has recently been updated.


The Law Library is proud to present a new report, Germany: Privatization of Air Traffic Control.

The original wording of article 87d of the German Basic Law precluded privatization of air traffic administration. A first constitutional amendment in 1992 was interpreted to permit only corporatization. In order to allow functional privatization and implement the European Union Single European Sky framework, article 87d of the Basic Law was amended a second time in 2009.
