Our firm has extensive experience advising leading companies and organisations operating in the aviation and tourism sectors. We provide our clients with comprehensive legal support, combining in-depth knowledge of the distinctive business, commercial and regulatory environments in which these industries operate.

We advise travel agencies, Israeli and international airlines, tourism groups and companies, tourism clubs and other industry participants on a broad range of matters arising from their day-to-day operations. Our longstanding experience and familiarity with the key market participants, commercial models, regulatory frameworks and sector-specific challenges enable us to provide legal advice that is closely aligned with our clients’ business needs and commercial objectives.

In the aviation sector, we advise travel agencies, airlines and other industry participants on regulatory and commercial matters, agreements with suppliers and service providers, tender proceedings, and dealings with governmental authorities and regulatory bodies. We also have significant experience representing clients in complex legal proceedings, including commercial and administrative litigation, petitions and class actions, including matters relating to passenger rights, flight cancellations and schedule changes, refunds, contractual terms and consumer protection.

In the tourism sector, we have longstanding experience advising leading tourism companies and groups, travel agencies and other industry participants, both in connection with their ongoing activities and in the development of new ventures and business initiatives. Our work includes drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, arrangements with tourism suppliers and service providers in Israel and abroad, strategic collaborations, customer clubs and benefit programmes, marketing and advertising activities, consumer protection matters, as well as representation in disputes and legal proceedings, including class actions and petitions where relevant.

Our firm also has considerable experience advising regarding complex tenders and projects in the aviation sector, including projects relating to airport operations, aviation services, technological systems and infrastructure, and engagements with public bodies. We provide legal support throughout the tender and contracting process, drawing on the combined expertise of our Tenders, Infrastructure and Commercial teams.

The activities of businesses operating in the aviation and tourism sectors frequently involve legal issues extending beyond sector-specific regulation. Our practice therefore works closely with the firm’s Corporate and Commercial, Litigation and Dispute Resolution, Tenders and Infrastructure, Administrative Law, Law and Technology, Intellectual Property, Privacy and Employment practices. This multidisciplinary approach enables us to provide comprehensive legal support that is both commercial and strategic in connection with our clients’ ongoing operations, transactions, projects, crisis management and complex legal proceedings.
