In the last few decades, aviation law has been shaped by new technologies, digitalization, and evolving security risks. This paper examines contemporary challenges that aviation law is facing, with a special focus on legislation and cybersecurity. The analysis highlights regulatory asymmetries between countries, disputes regarding sovereignty and jurisdiction, and the lack of harmonized rules addressing cyber threats. Methodologically, the paper uses analytical, historical, and inductive-deductive approaches. This paper also reviews the international regulations relevant to these issues and offers recommendations for their amendment to meet current conditions. Therefore, the paper concludes that the existing international legal framework for aviation is not sufficiently adapted to emerging risks and that a proactive and coordinated response by international organizations and states is required, particularly to address cybersecurity threats.
