Rio de Janeiro, August 3, 2022 - One of the most outstanding conferences on aviation law is already set to take place.

"ALTA Aviation Law Americas is one of the most important legal meetings of the commercial aviation sector in the region, and we are very pleased to announce its return to the calendar of actions we promote annually. This meeting will be an occasion to exchange experiences and will have the presence of experts on the subject. This year we will bring many innovations to the agenda, including the topic on blockchain and how it is revolutionizing the way that consumers can buy and use trips, as well as the use of technologies and data generated in the operation and deployment of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel)”, he stated.

"In the last year, seven law firms have joined ALTA as consulting members. This type of consulting allows us to bring to our work initiatives the knowledge of the markets and the discussion to improve the conditions for aviation to develop and for more people to use the safest and most efficient means of transport”, Botelho added.

ALTA Aviation Law Americas will feature ten panels addressing: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF); support from the government to airlines; competitiveness; blockchain in the distribution of air tickets; taxes; regulation; challenges and lessons learned during the pandemic; legal uncertainty; and best practices to reduce costs.
