Aviation Lawyers in Islamabad and Peshawar – Nouman Muhib Kakakhel – Lawyer & Legal Consultant

Under the Carriage by Air Act 2012, passengers are entitled to compensation and assistance in the event of denied boarding, long delays, or flight cancellations. Airlines are required to provide meals, communication, and hotel accommodation depending on the duration of the delay. If the disruption is within the airline's control, you may be eligible for statutory financial compensation. We assist travelers in filing claims against domestic and international carriers to ensure their consumer rights are upheld according to national aviation standards.

The Montreal Convention 1999 is the primary international treaty governing liability for international air travel. It establishes a two-tier liability system for passenger injury or death, utilizing Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to calculate minimum compensation. In the first tier, the carrier is strictly liable regardless of fault. In the second tier, if negligence is proven, the liability can be unlimited. We provide expert representation for families in air crash litigation, ensuring that the strict liability protocols are enforced to secure the highest possible restitution.

A Pilot License Suspension or revocation by the PCAA can severely impact a career. Such actions are usually preceded by a show-cause notice and a formal inquiry into alleged medical unfitness or technical violations. You have the right to a fair hearing and can challenge arbitrary decisions through an internal appeal or a Writ Petition in the High Court. We specialize in pilot advocacy, defending flight crew against administrative penalties and ensuring that the principles of natural justice are followed during the disciplinary process.

Liability for Air Cargo is governed by the weight of the shipment and the specific terms of the Air Waybill. Under current laws, carriers have a limited liability per kilogram unless a higher value was declared at the time of shipment. If your commercial goods are lost or damaged due to "wilful misconduct" or gross negligence, you can pursue a civil suit for full damages. We assist logistics companies and exporters in Peshawar and Islamabad in recovering losses through cargo insurance claims and litigation against negligent ground handlers.
