Webinar: Aviation Finance: Securing the Asset – A Comparative Property Law Perspective

Have you got a question?

Aircraft financing crosses borders, while ownership and security rights remain closely tied to national law. An aircraft may be registered in one country, operated in another and financed across several jurisdictions—raising important questions about whose rights are protected and what happens if the operator defaults.

Watch Oracle Law Global’s 60-minute webinar with Irena Gogl-Hassanin and Harry Snook, exploring how ownership and security interests in aircraft and engines are created, protected and enforced across different legal systems.

The session covers:

Aircraft registration and ownership — what national registers reveal, how title is evidenced, and why the registered operator and legal owner may be different parties.
Taking and perfecting security — aircraft mortgages, pledges, finance leases and the requirements for making an interest effective against third parties.
Aircraft engines and parts — the legal treatment of engines separately from airframes, including replacement engines, spare engines and parts.
The Cape Town Convention — international interests, registration and priority, and the interaction between the Convention and domestic property law.
Default, repossession and insolvency — recovering the aircraft, deregistration and export, competing claims and the recognition of foreign security interests.
A practical transaction checklist — five questions to ask about ownership, applicable law, perfection, registration and enforcement before closing a cross-border financing.

Using a common default scenario, the speakers compare how different legal systems can affect the outcome for financiers and lessors when asset protection matters most.

Whether you are an aviation finance lawyer, financier, lessor, airline representative, aircraft owner or transaction professional, this session offers practical insights into assessing and protecting your position in cross-border aircraft transactions.
