Aircraft Liens and Detention Rights

We’re pleased to announce that once again, DFDL Myanmar has contributed to the Myanmar chapter in the latest edition of Aircraft Liens and Detention Rights, published by Sweet & Maxwell. This publication covers the rights of third parties to seize and detain aircraft until unpaid debts are met or if aviation law has been infringed.

The Myanmar chapter is written by DFDL Myanmar Managing Director Nishant Choudhary, Deputy Managing Director Surath Bhattacharjee and Senior Legal Adviser KyawKyaw Han. Whether you’re working in aviation law, aircraft finance, leasing, maintenance, or airport operations, this is one book you’ll want at your fingertips. It provides clear, comparative guidance on aircraft liens and detention rights across 100+ jurisdictions. Covering seller, repairer, maintenance, salvor, and contractor liens, it explains how airlines, owners, financiers, and airports are affected. It also details the powers of authorities to detain or sell aircraft for unpaid fees, highlights government forfeiture rights, and presents the content in an easy Q&A format for quick reference.
