Abstract :
Expansion of aviation is not achievable without regulating and improving air safety worldwide. Air safety in aviation has always been
associated with approving and implementing national and international laws, regulations and standards. The international aviation
community has approved uniform safety regulations under treaties, bilateral agreements, and internationally required standards. The
international civil aviation organization (ICAO) is continuously updating standards following the development of aviation technologies.
However, implementing international air safety standards involves compliance with and implementation of the regulations by the states
in their air transportation. With the adoption and updating of international air standards of ICAO, do the member states comply with
them? Member States are not in the same status regarding the development of the aviation industry. Various political, economic, and
technical factors impede countries' correct and appropriate implementation of standards. Hence, the member countries should obtain a
legal method so that the international technical air standards in their aviation industry become mandatory. However, they should adopt
these standards under national law and harmonize them with international air standards. Formulating them under national law is the
preferred way to comply with these uniform international safety standards. To accomplish this, the relevant national legal and regulatory
infrastructure for air regulations should be established in all states. The author first explains the theoretical and practical basis of
developing comprehensive international aviation safety standards and then describes the mechanism and process of approving these
standards in the framework of the national code
