Air is a mode of transportation that has been on the rise over the last number of years. The increase in number of domestic passengers has led to new airlines entering the market and an increase in the number of domestic flights daily to various destinations throughout the country. Substantial capital development has taken place at all major airports to accommodate the increased passenger requirements for the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Due to South Africa's growth and incorporation into the global world, our country has become a favourable tourist destination for many foreigners, which has also resulted in a vast increase in the number of international flights to and from South Africa.
This growth has led to a demand for legal expertise in the buying, selling and leasing of aircraft, in competition and regulatory issues, insurance claims, aircraft damage claims and sundry claims by passengers.
We provide legal advice to various airlines and air charter companies. Our team can assist with structuring and developing applications to the South African Civil Aviation Authority and the Air Services Licensing Council, drafting structured finance agreements, assisting in acquiring airline landing rights, assisting in the financing of aircraft and drafting maintenance agreements in respect of the aircraft, lease and charter agreements and various services agreements relating to the functioning and development of the airline in the industry.
