Abstract
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations present significant regulatory challenges to the regulation of civil aviation. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) plays a central and active role in various types of cases of use of AAM. As regards domestic operations, ICAO should refrain from directly intervening in the regulation and instead focus on developing model policies and general principles. Concerning possible international operations, the ICAO may amend existing international air law to accommodate new technologies and operational features brought by AAM. This article analyses pertinent legal issues in various modes of AAM operations to examine how the ICAO can fulfil its responsibilities in ensuring the sustainable and safe development of civil aviation.
