Introduction

The position of the United Kingdom as a prime world aviation hub is at risk due to its ability to meet increasing capacity requirements. Heathrow is functioning at 98.5 per cent of its capacity and there is a substantial shortage of runways in the south east, indicating that the UK economy is at loss of nearly £1.2 billion a year to France, the Netherlands, and Germany. As experts confirm, adjusting and rearranging new schedules and altering flight slots will not resolve Heathrow’s shortage of capacity but neither will constructing a new multi runway hub airport within the Thames Estuary, which cannot be ...

Analysis of the legal challenge to airport regulation restricting assembly

Introduction Airport Authorities in the United States have always been engaged in legal disputes with citizens over the use of the airport facilities and the conflict such regulations pose with the rights of citizens. The analysis of the Bruce Rocker case attempts to grapple with this never ending conflict and the underlying legal issues usually at hand. The regulation by the Baltimore International Airport in this instance of restricting the assembly of more than 30 people if their business is not travel-related lays bare a number of issues that touch fundamentally on the rights of the citizens. In addition, ...

Introduction

The US Constitution guarantees many of the rights of the individual citizens. One of the rights guaranteed is the right to peaceably assemble.
