Our Partner, Poonam Verma Sengupta, and Principal Associate Sakshi Kapoor, have authored the Global Practice Guide for the India region in “Aviation Disputes 2026”, for Chambers and Partners. This comprehensive guide offers valuable insights and analysis that underscore our commitment to excellence in aviation dispute.
India’s aviation dispute resolution framework has evolved significantly with stronger arbitration mechanisms, specialised forums and major legislative reforms. Arbitration remains the preferred route for cross-border aviation disputes, particularly aircraft leasing and financing matters, supported by India’s pro-arbitration judicial approach. Recent laws such as the Bharatiya Vayuyan Adhiniyam, 2024 and the Protection of Interests in Aircraft Objects Act, 2025 have strengthened creditor rights, repossession mechanisms and regulatory certainty. Enhanced consumer protection rules, insolvency reforms and expanded interim relief powers further align India’s aviation legal ecosystem with global standards.
