Practice Areas > Aviation & Shipping

Overview

Having the status of a Member State of the European Union, boasting safe natural ports and a location in the centre of the Mediterranean, it is no doubt that Malta has established itself as a leading maritime hub. In fact, the Maltese ship register currently ranks largest in Europe and the 6th largest across the globe. These same characteristics make Malta an ideal location for all aviation requirements and the aviation industry is currently focused on achieving the same growth and strength as the shipping sector.

Aviation and Shipping Law are two of Gonzi & Associates, Advocates’ areas of specialisation. The firm’s aviation and shipping team are well placed to offer specialised assistance and comprehensive advice to clients on all aviation and shipping related matters, having developed their skills over several years of experience in these fields.
