PRACTICE AREAS
Civil Aviation Law
Civil Aviation Law governs the legal framework surrounding the operation of aircraft, air transportation, airport management, aviation safety, liability regimes, and international aviation regulations. Within this scope, we provide comprehensive legal services to airlines, ground handling companies, MRO organizations, manufacturers, financial institutions, and insurers in matters requiring specialized aviation expertise.
Our practice includes representation in aircraft accident investigations, liability claims under the Montreal and Warsaw Conventions, compliance with Turkish Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) regulations, international disputes, and complex multi-jurisdictional litigation involving insurers and reinsurers.
We deliver strategic and effective legal solutions aligned with the operational needs of aviation actors while ensuring full compliance with global aviation standards.
