Leasing, sales and financing in the aviation sector
The leasing, sale and financing of aircraft involve complex legal and financial issues. These processes take place within an international, highly regulated sector in which clear agreements and risk management are essential.
As aviation lawyers, we assist parties in aviation transactions, focusing on legal certainty, risk management and commercial interests. We advise on, amongst other things:
- Lease agreements (wet lease and dry lease);
- the purchase and sale of aircraft;
- financing structures and security;
- warranties, liability and risk sharing;
- restructuring and termination of existing arrangements.
