Contracts in the aviation sector
Contracts in the aviation sector
The aviation sector is one in which everything converges: international regulations, financial interests and operational pressures. Contractual agreements form the backbone of cooperation between airlines, leasing companies, airports, service providers and other stakeholders. Clear and well-thought-out contracts are essential for managing risks and preventing disputes.
As aviation lawyers, we advise and assist clients in drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts within the aviation sector. In doing so, we focus not only on legal correctness, but also on practical feasibility and strategic choices that align with the day-to-day reality of the sector. Examples of contracts include:
- Lease agreements (wet and dry leases);
- maintenance and MRO contracts;
- codeshare and interline agreements;
- ground handling and catering contracts;
- agency and distribution agreements;
- liability and insurance clauses.

The pilot’s employment contract: points of interest and details for airlines
