Aviation

We provide advisory to all segments of the aviation industry – airlines, leasing companies, airport operators, aviation logistics services providers, aerospace manufacturers, financiers, aviation insurers, repair facilities, and regulators. We also offer solutions for local and international airlines and other sector stakeholders on regulatory compliance, commercial transaction service agreements and dispute resolution. We advise on the acquisition of equipment and facilities, aircraft leasing and financing; and assist with liaising with government and regulatory agencies, as well as the processes involved in securing licenses, permits and other approvals from Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

We have advised Deutsche Bank on the financing of a Dassault Falcon. We also advised a foreign lender in Arik’s aircraft acquisition and advised on the restructuring of a leading local airline’s debt with 2 Nigerian banks and AMCON.

We constantly have our finger on the pulse of aviation laws and policy, so that we can guide our clients in making the right choices.
