About this statute

Article 1 is labeled as the first article, but no operative rule is stated in the provided text. Any person commits an offence if they intentionally and unlawfully carry out certain acts that endanger aircraft safety, including violence on board, damaging aircraft, placing harmful devices, interfering with navigation facilities, or giving false information. Attempts and accomplice conduct are also covered. This article defines when an aircraft is considered to be in flight and in service. Each Contracting State must make the offences in Article 1 punishable by severe penalties. This article says the Convention does not apply to aircraft used for military, customs, or police services, and it applies only in certain cross-border or territorial cases.
