The Institute of Air and Space Law cordially invites you to attend its new webinar series. This inaugural 2021-2022 series will examine 鈥淟aw in a Rapidly Evolving Aviation Industry.鈥�

Abstract

With the backdrop of COVID-19, this episode will address practical issues from both airline and lessor perspectives on an airline bankruptcy case study and restructurings & aircraft repossessions.

Considering the effects of COVID-19 on the industry, airlines have faced an unprecedented situation, with lessors finding themselves largely unable to deploy their usual tools. Looking to the future, as the industry seeks to recover, what approaches should an airline take if it faces difficulty in meeting its contractual commitments? What can lessors expect in terms of repossession, whether on a voluntary or involuntary basis?

Our speakers have extensive and in-depth experience at a senior level from both sides of the table. The webinar will take the form of a discussion between our invited experts, Gautam Acharya and Donal Patrick Hanley, which will be followed by a Q&A session. Prof. Ram S Jakhu will open the session and Maria Manoli will moderate the discussion.

Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required. Please register before 28 September 2021. The zoom link to the webinar will be sent to registrants a few days prior to the event. This event is eligible for inclusion for 2 hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) as self-reported by members of the Quebec Bar.
