Abstract
The immunity of a state aircraft is an interesting research area, but rarely addressed in international law or discussed in the doctrine of international law. Little interest in this regard is surprising if we compare it with the relatively broadly discussed issue of immunity of state vessels.
The result of the research process presented in the article is the thesis that an aircraft owned or operated by a State for non-commercial purposes is entitled to immunity under certain multilateral conventions. Interestingly, crucial in this respect are treatises related to the law of the sea, rather than air law. It is also justifiable to claim that the discussed immunity arises from general international law.
