Is aviation ready for the legal challenges of the future?

The ALTA Aviation Law Americas 2025 Conference brings together experts in Lima to debate innovation, regulation, and competitiveness

By · Sep 18, 2025


Lima, September 18, 2025 – The regulations shaping the aviation sector and emerging technologies will be at the core of the 17th ALTA Aviation Law Americas, to be held in Lima from September 17 to 19. Over three days, government authorities, law firms, and airlines will address the main legal, financial, technological, and political challenges directly impacting aviation, ranging from infrastructure and operations to the evolution of consumer relations.

“The ALTA Aviation Law is a key forum to discuss the regulatory frameworks that are transforming aviation in our region. In Lima, we will tackle topics such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, seeking solutions that balance innovation, competitiveness, and legal certainty. Only through cooperation and dialogue can we unlock the full potential of aviation as a driver of economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean,” emphasized Peter Cerdá, CEO of ALTA.

Key issues to be discussed include the “domino effect” of the collapse of critical suppliers and its legal and financial implications, as well as the challenges of artificial intelligence, ranging from predictive maintenance to pricing algorithms.

Labor relations and consumer protection will also be analyzed, aiming to balance passenger rights with the commercial flexibility of airlines.

The program features discussions on aviation insurance with parametric models, legal contradictions in air cargo due to regulatory divergences, and the growing risks of cyberattacks in a highly interconnected environment.

With the support of PromPerú, Lima Airport Partners (LAP), LATAM Airlines, Delta Airlines, Cartasso Nveyra Abogados, Diaz Palao & Siles Abogados, MESA Abogados, Clyde & Co, Maluf & Rodrigues Advogados, Nantes Mello Advogados, L2b, Bernardi & Schanapp Advogados, KMA Zuckert, Condon/Forsyth, Cozen O’Connor, and Fargosi Abogados, ALTA Aviation Law Americas 2025 will be a key platform for exchange and networking among lawyers, regulators, and airline leaders, strengthening cooperation for a more competitive and safer future of aviation in the region.
