Table of Contents
Most passengers will not be able to do anything with the abbreviation: ACMI. aircraft,crew,maintenance and insurance are important for aviation,especially in the busy summer. As an airline provides another aircraft, including crews, maintenance and insurance.It is indeed a variant of the wet lease.
On August 6th, a judgment in Great Britain has now made a judgment in a dispute around a collaboration, with Tui Airways (together with TUI Airlines Belgium and TUI Airlines Nederland) aircraft from smart Lynx Airlines Malta (together with Smart Lynx Airlines Estonia and Smart Lynx Airlines). The case shows how complex such a collaboration is in detail – even for people from the industry.
What TUI and Smart Lynx Demanded
Like the legal magazine Solicitors Journal reported, the business relationship was based on three main agreements: the Aircraft Supply Agreement (ASA), the Aircraft ACMI Common Terms Agreement (CTA) and individual Aircraft Specific Lease Agreements (ASLAS). The subject of the disputes was the use of five aircraft between 2022 and 2024. TUI made an application for a summary judgment for several claims.
Among other things, TUI asked the court (the King’s Bench Division of the High Court) deposit repayments, compensation for block hours, compensation for aircraft failures and legal costs. Smart Lynx denied claims by TUI as inadmissible and also asserted counterclaims that she wanted to have TUI offset.
How the court Judged – and Why This Is Groundbreaking
The court gave TUI right on several points, especially in the deposits and the compensation amounts for block hours. However, it also recognized counter -claims from Smart Lynx. “This recognition led to the judicial decision to expose enforcement for certain aspects of the judgment, which reflects the continued interrelation of claims and counterclaims from the many years of business relationships of the parties,” writes the Solicitors Journal for classification.
The legal specialist magazine further explains: “The balanced approach underlines the judicial recognition of complex financial relationships associated with leasing contracts for aircraft, in which there are often several obligations and claims between the contracting parties.” The judgment creates an important precedent for such contract disputes and underlines the need for precise contract design and effective communication between the parties.
