The Aviation Industry is rapidly evolving to respond to increasing turbulence from international legal and political headwinds, technological breakthroughs, increased competition, and economic pressures. Global airline alliances, emerging markets, low-cost carrier growth, infrastructure privatization and unmanned aircraft systems (also known as drones) are revolutionizing aviation from the largest international air carriers to the smallest micro-drone operations. Growing opportunities, increased risks, new regulatory frameworks and unique legal challenges accompany the industry’s evolution and require deft legal piloting for success.
