If a crime was committed on an airplane in flight, which country's law would you be charged under?

From what I can tell from this article, it seems that the duty of
jurisdiction falls on whichever country the airline was registered with?
Then again, I’m quite tired and am probably not reading too clearly.

That kind of makes sense though. Being responsible for what happens aboard
their aircraft would definitely provide good incentive for upping their security.

I think nimis is right.
Reminds me of the question:
If a plane crashes on the border of the USA and Canada, which country are the survivors buried in?

Hey, be nice! You don’t bury survivors! :o)

I do.
Bwaaa-ha-ha! (evil laughter)

Trespassers will be shot.
Survivors will be shot. again.

I agree. The business operates primarily under the jurisdiction of the corporation’s federal government.

well… i think it should be law of the people on the plane. somebody stole something on the flight, and the passengers decide, off with his head, so be it. think about it…. it would be interesting.

All I gotta say is, ” I’m tired of these mother f**king snakes on the mother f**king plane!”

“It’s time to open some f**king windows!”

Intellectually, the question is sound, now I tell you, in such a situation the court of trial will be any of all the mentioned countries. The Tokyo convention set the rules so trial can commence accordingly.
