International
and national civil aviation have been linked with a confidence. The term of confidence is a safe and secure
civil aviation. Today the internatio-
nal and national civil aviation
have been threatened by the illegal
interference. The author wishes to answer the question whether cyber
operations are arms in terms of Article 3bis of
the Convention on International Civil Aviation
whi- ch prohibits to the Member States the use of weapons against civil
aircrafts in flight. The Convention does not provide
the precise meaning
of the term arms. Therefore,
there is a need to examine closely the effects of misuse of cyber operations on
civil aviation in the sense of components which could certify a thesis that the
cyber operations are arms.
Keywords: Article 3bis of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, cy- ber operations, arms, safety
and security of civil aviation.
