Spain—Dentons is pleased to announce the arrival of partner Jabier Badiola and senior associate Luis Belart, both of whom join us from Clifford Chance, bringing with them extensive experience in aviation finance and leasing matters.

The Aviation team in Spain is experienced, being recognised as the firm of choice for advice on Spanish aircraft regulatory matters and structured finance.

Our team has recent experience in:

• Spanish security eligible to be registered with the international registry.
• Non-Spanish security granted by Spanish operators that is currently registered with the international registry.

We have advised on the following types of transactions:

• Selling and purchasing aircraft portfolios (Iberia’s purchase of Iberbond fleet in 2014 and Avincis (formerly Inaer) fleet transfer to Babcock International in 2014).
• Restructuring (TAM and LAN fleets into LATAM in 2014).
• Structuring finance and finance leases (for AWAS, Macquarie, Apollo Aviation and GECAS in 2015).
• Operating leases involving the main Spanish operators (Iberia, Vueling, Iberia Express, Air Europa and Evelop in 2015).
