Airport Matters

We have considerable experience representing both airport operators and users. This includes advice to airports, airlines and others on federal funding issues, privatization, airport contracting and leasing matters, federal regulations, fees and charges, slot control and noise issues. The firm played a major role in the leading federal court case on the standards for structuring airport landing fees. The firm also represents airports seeking to attract new international air service.

Antitrust

Since deregulation of the airline industry in the U.S., the firm has worked closely with airlines and airports in providing advice on compliance with the antitrust laws. For several of our major clients, we have prepared comprehensive antitrust manuals designed to guide airline employees, from ticket agents to senior management, in antitrust matters. The firm has been involved in several of the airline mergers that have occurred in recent years.

Commercial Transactions

Zuckert, Scoutt & Rasenberger is experienced in negotiating and documenting commercial transactions for our aviation clients. The firm's attorneys represent clients in connection with the negotiation and documentation of aircraft leases, aircraft sales agreements, charter contracts, various forms of joint operating agreements and aircraft financing documents. The firm also regularly serves as special counsel in matters involving the registration of aircraft and the recordation of security interests in aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, and advises clients on compliance with the citizenship requirements of the Federal Aviation Act.
