Aviation

GEP’s expertise in the Aviation sector is hinged on the natureand  peculiarities of the transactions it has successfully handled on behalf of notable clients in the sector. We have acted as Legal and Regulatory Advisers to foreign airlines on the establishment of operations in Nigeria and similarly advised on the Nigerian end of the historic merger of two major foreign airlines to become one of the world’s largest airlines. This is highlighted by the number of local and international airlines we have advised on significant points including aircraft acquisition, aircraft financing, aircraft/airport leasing and aircraft insurance. Our contribution to the growth of the sector is mirrored by the preparation of the first (and current) international standard Airport Use and Lease Agreement. We have also acted as legal advisers to the relevant government and regulatory authorities.
