For the aviation sector, the first half of 2020 has sadly been defined by the many challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in operational and economic disruption across the globe. Now six months in, the industry is taking stock, adapting strategies and mapping out future plans for business post COVID-19.
Aviation’s emergence from this crisis will need to involve practical measures, including insolvency proceedings, the re-negotiation of aircraft leases, corporate triage to determine what aspects of an aviation business can be saved and how investors can recover their interests to the fullest possible extent.

This Q&A edition outlines the aviation regulatory regime in Bangladesh undergirding restructuring and insolvency matters for airlines, aircraft leasing companies and owners when it comes to issues such as de-registration, repossession, secured and unsecured creditors’ rights and avenues to pursue claims or seek redress through the Bangladeshi courts or via foreign arbitration.
