    Grinchenko Oleg Head of North-West Interregional Territorial Air Transport Administration of the Federal Air Transport Agency With great pleasure, I would like to note the success achieved by our colleagues from the scientific aviation legal community. For seven years the Conference, which was conceived as a small celebration of the anniversary of the Law Faculty of the University of Civil Aviation, has turned into an authoritative international event. The Federal Air Transport Agency always listened attentively to the initiative of the organizers, officially supported the Conference, rewarded colleagues for their merits in the field of legal support for civil aviation. I hope that what has been conceived will continue to serve the benefit of the industry and positively affect the image of Russia as a great aviation state.

    Khizhnyak Natalia Head of Legal Department at NordStar Airlines One of the main advantages of the Conference is the participation of delegates from various fields of aviation, representing the Russia and foreign countries. During the official and informal part of the Conference, there is an opportunity to discuss the most relevant and controversial issues, listen to the opinions of various experts, from pilots to representatives of foreign Aviation Authorities. Every year the Conference raises the bar and its importance in the international aviation community. This increases the interest in the Conference and, as a result, the number of delegates and speakers increases, discussion panels consist of the hottest topics, both domestic and international.

    EHLERS Nikolai P. Partner of Ehlers, Ehlers & Partner, LL.M. (McGill) The St. Petersburg Air Law Conference is a unique and very important international forum as it facilitates the meeting of air law specialists from Russia not only with colleagues from neighboring countries, but also from Western Europe. This is very useful as it helps to develop a greater understanding for each other in the interest of cooperation in this industry which is international by nature and has the main function to connect people more easily. The vision of the organizers to establish this forum and their great ability to create meaningful – and enjoyable – events year after year in beautiful St. Petersburg, which has been a driving force and a symbol for closer ties between East and West since its foundation, is to be commended.

    LEONOV Aleksey Leading Expert on Relations with the Aviation Authorities at Volga-Dnepr Airlines The Air Law Conference, held annually in St. Petersburg by the AEROHELP Institute, is one of the few events for meetings of experts in the field of air law in Russia. During these meetings, the participants of the conference have an excellent opportunity not only to hear reports of foreign colleagues on air law issues, discuss the most pressing issues of legal regulation of air transport activities, and exchange experience in this field. Live communication with industry colleagues, scientists, representatives of national regulators allows the conference participants to take a fresh look at the law enforcement practice of regulating the activities of international air transport in various jurisdictions.

VENUE

The Eighth Air Law Conference will be held on October 26, 2018, in the beautiful palace and park ensemble of the late XVIII - early XIX centuries, located in Pavlovsk, a modern suburb of St. Petersburg. The core of the ensemble is the Pavlovsk Palace, which was the summer residence of Paul I. Pavlovsk Park is considered as one of the best landscape parks not only in Russia but also in Europe. For the Conference, one of the most famous buildings of the Pavlovsk park was chosen – the Rose Pavilion – the monument of Russian culture that arose at the beginning of the XIX century. Originally, the building was a summer residence of Bagration. But already in 1812, the chief architect of Pavlovsk Andrei Voronikhin, especially for the Empress Maria Feodorovna, rebuilt the residence into the most beautiful pavilion, surrounded on all sides by rose gardens. In 1989, Pavlovsk was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in Russia, currently, 42 objects here are protected by the state as cultural and historical monuments. Pavlovsk has become one of the centers of tourism, annually it is visited by more than 1.5 million tourists.


Palace and Rose Pavilion address: St. Petersburg, Pavlovsk, Sadovaya street, 20
