About the Institution

NALSAR, Centre for Aerospace and Defence Laws (CADL) is organising its “Aerospace and Defence Laws Lecture Series”, a Webinar series, which will bring together academics, legal practitioners, and experts from the field, to critically explore the education in Aviation, Defence and Space Laws, and explore the current trends in these sectors.

About the Webinar

The impact of COVID-19 is for real and this unprecedented health crisis is pushing the global economy into a turmoil. The aviation sector, predominantly airlines and airports are very badly hit due to this pandemic. The International Air transport Association estimates that the global aviation industry will lose $252 billion in 2020. Some analysis shows that the overall drop in global GDP is 6% due to this pandemic and because of the several restrictions imposed by the governments.

With these circumstances in mind, CADL has scheduled its 3rd Webinar in “Aerospace and Defence Law Lecture Series” titled “Impact of COVID-19 on the Indian Aviation Industry” on July 12, 2020, at 3:30 PM IST.

We will hear from our experts on the panel the state of commercial aviation in India; financial support measures from the government; operational, legal and policy hurdles faced by the sector; and their predictions for what’s ahead for the Indian aviation market in 2020 and beyond.

Questions Answered in Webinar

• What are the financial, operational, legal and policy hurdles faced by Airlines and Airports as a consequence of government policies?
• Will innovation, sustainability and use of new digital technologies take a back seat for the lack of funds/investments from businesses?
• Is the customer at the heart of these discussions or is it just corporates and governments trying to win over each other?
