the general public and the nations of the world. (Diedriks–Verschoor)
• Air Law is the regulation of the circulation, the navigation and the use of aircraft
and also the legal right and obligation which may rise therefrom. (Pepin)

   Only one sector of Air Law and thus conveying too narrow an interpretation
Air Law is interwined with other areas of law on several points. It involves many
aspects of constitutional law, civil law, commercial law and criminal law.
Aviation law is the branch of law that concerns flight, air travel , and associated legal
and business concerns. Some of its area of concern overlaps that of admiralty law
and, in many cases, aviation law is considered a matter of international law due to the nature of air travel.
   However, the business aspects of airlines and their regulation also fall under aviation law. In the United States , the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
governs applied aspects of flight. In the international realm, the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) provide general rules and mediates international
concerns to an extent regarding aviation law. The ICAO is a specialized agency of the
United Nations .
   The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (Direktorat Jenderal Perhubungan Udara) of
the Republic of Indonesia has responsibility for the administration of civil aviation
throughout the nation of Indonesia . The office of the Directorate General of Civil
Aviation oversees all government regulations pertaining to civil aviation and the Civil
Aviation Act.(Undang Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2009 Tentang Penerbangan). Its head
office is in Jakarta
