Aviation Air traffic in Africa is expected to double in the next 20 years, with modernisation of infrastructure and operations required as a result. The continued development of a reliable aviation industry that facilitates business, trade and tourism is crucial to the sustainability of Africa's economic growth.
We understand that with an expanding business aviation industry comes the increased need for, and investment in, fleets, airports and handling services. We are airline and aircraft operator focused, and operate through a single global practice group, allowing us to serve our clients where and when they need us in Africa. Our advice covers the full range of aviation issues, including major loss, emergency response and liability, baggage and cargo claims, as well as non-contentious work such as regulation, aircraft finance and leasing, and aircraft purchase and management.
