About

Provided by Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP

Hughes Hubbard & Reed has extensive experience representing many of the leading airlines, aircraft leasing companies, financial institutions and other participants in the aviation industry in their most sophisticated and cutting-edge transactions. We have pioneered some of the largest and most innovative transaction structures in the aviation industry, many of which have won “Deal of the Year” awards from leading industry publications. What sets us apart is our skills at innovation and our focus on achieving clients' goals. For example, we played leading roles in transactions involving the first asset-backed securities (ABS) capital markets issuance following the 2008 financial crisis and the first non-U.S. airline enhanced equipment trust certificate (EETC) using Cape Town Alternative A, which is similar to Section 1110 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.


Our areas of experience include:

  • Aviation Finance 
  • Mergers and Joint Ventures
  • Workouts and Bankruptcies
  • Litigation
