Ground and air transport companies need operational licenses overseen by different competent bodies depending on the type of activity, and transport contracts carry special terms determining carrier liability for transported goods.
Ground services and aircraft lease agreements carry specialized technical terms needing drafting that accounts for aviation sector nature.
Regulatory Framework
This sector falls under land transport regulations and civil aviation regulations, which set licensing requirements for each type of activity.
How We Work With This Sector
We determine the type of activity, ground or air transport, to identify the relevant regulatory body and its licensing requirements.
Who We Work With in This Sector
Shipping and transport companies needing contracts clarifying carrier liability.
Airlines or ground services companies needing their operational licenses reviewed.
We notice that small ground shipping companies sometimes expand their activity to include additional logistics services without reviewing whether their current license covers this expansion, adding a storage or last-mile delivery service without verifying the commercial registration includes this additional activity, a simple detail worth reviewing before actual expansion.
