Legislative Developments in the Aviation Sector in 2011

The Polish Aviation Law (in Polish: Prawo Lotnicze; hereafter, PL) of 3 July 2002 was amended only once in 2009. The amendment was introduced by the Act on the amendment of the Act on the Provision of services on the territory of the Republic of Poland of 4 March 20101, which entered into force on 10 April 2010. Accordingly, two new provisions were introduced into Polish aviation law: sub-article 1a was inserted into the existing Article 160 PL and a new Article 160a was created. Both insertions specify that the Act on the Provision of services on the territory of the Republic of Poland does not apply to its Aviation Law.
