Competition Law Issues

Competition law, often referred to as antitrust law, plays a pivotal role in ensuring fair market practices and preventing anti-competitive behavior within the aviation industry, a sector critical to national economies and international trade.

This area of law addresses a broad spectrum of issues, including mergers and acquisitions that could lead to market concentration, anti-competitive agreements such as price-fixing, market sharing, or output restrictions, and the abuse of a dominant market position by powerful airlines or airport operators. The objective is to safeguard consumer welfare, promote innovation, and maintain a level playing field for all market participants.

We advise on pre-merger notifications, conduct competition impact assessments, and represent clients in investigations initiated by regulatory bodies.
