On Tuesday 9th April, Karl Tanti, Senior Associate of AE Legal, attended the Aeropodium Aircraft Leasing Seminar held at London City Airport.

The Seminar focused on the legal, commercial and technical issues at play in the negotiation and drafting of an aircraft lease agreement. An interesting discussion also ensued on the benefits and drawbacks for an operator to consider when deciding whether to lease or acquire an aircraft.

Speakers included Dr Barry Humphreys, former Head of Air Services Policy at the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and former Director at Virgin Atlantic Airways, and James Baldwin, J.D. Adjunct Professor at University of Maryland University College (UMUC) and Visiting Lecturer at University of Westminster (London) and Emirates Aviation University (Dubai).
