Expert Witness

With unprecedented levels of aviation-related litigation going through the courts, it is essential that the most reliable and respected testimony and evidence underpins your claim or defence. At IBA we have senior personnel who have gained considerable experience on a wide variety of aviation issues in commercial courts around the world.

Possessing a clear understanding of the procedures and requirements surrounding complex actions, IBA experts can also draw upon our comprehensive database and large aviation library at the company headquarters. With individuals from a wide range of airline, leasing company, banking and maintenance backgrounds, IBA is in prime position to match the right level of expertise to your case.

In recent years, IBA personnel have acted as expert witnesses on areas including:

• Aircraft and engine values
• Delivery / redelivery condition disputes
• Operational factors
• Industry procedures
• Maintenance issues
• Fleet planning
• Contract guarantees
• Aircraft corrosion
• Quality systems
• Value Diminution Assessment
  

Feedback from clients who have used our expert witness services tells us that the ‘clarity of interpretation and independent nature of the expert’ can be key in clearing the fog that often arises when in-house expertise has been exhausted, particularly in relation to more complex cases. Moreover, employing an IBA expert at the early stages of a potential dispute will bring a refreshing third party opinion to the debate, which may inspire a mutually acceptable resolution ahead of costly litigation.
