On November 8, IALI Director Brian Havel was a featured speaker at the 25th annual conference of the European Air Law Association (EALA) in Madrid, Spain. Professor Havel spoke on the next steps that may occur with respect to removing legal limits on foreign investment in national airlines. Focusing specifically on the U.S. situation, he noted that constituencies that have supported change -- including a number of major airlines -- are no longer actively pushing for reform as the U.S. airline industry’s economic condition has improved. The session was chaired by Professor Pablo Mendes de Leon, EALA president and director of the International Air and Space Law Institute at Leiden University. Professor Havel recently was named visiting professor of law at Leiden.
