Aviation Law
About the Committee
DRI’s Aviation Committee is made up of professionals in the field of aviation law. The Committee includes attorneys who defend the interests of airlines, airports, aircraft component manufacturers and suppliers, fixed base operators, maintenance
organizations, aviation brokers, insurers/reinsurers, and publishers of aeronautical data and training facilities, on a national and international scale. Some members are involved in litigation arising from international and domestic aviation accidents.
Other members represent clients in regulatory and enforcement matters before the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board. Others oversee complex commercial transactions regarding
the purchase and sale of aircraft, both large and small.
The Committee is not only made up of attorneys, but also aviation insurers, consultants and experts. The Committee stays connected in DRI meetings throughout the year and presents as a Substantive Law Committee at the DRI Annual Meeting. Also, members
stay in touch through messaging on the Aviation Law Digest. Members publish articles in For the Defense, The Voice and the Committee’s e-newsletter The Brief Case. The Committee recently started as series of podcasts, Wingtips, where members
engage with leaders in the aviation industry.
The Aviation Law Committee welcomes new members to participate in its diverse group and help plan and lead activities, presentations and publications surrounding aviation and aerospace.
