AVIATION LAW FOR AIRLINES OPERATING IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

I advise and represent airlines requiring Czech legal support in litigation, passenger claims, regulatory matters, commercial disputes, cybersecurity and data protection. My aviation practice is built on more than eight years of direct experience within the airline sector, including long-term responsibility for data protection and senior-level involvement in cybersecurity governance at Smartwings and Czech Airlines.

This background allows me to approach legal matters not only as an external Czech aviation lawyer, but with a practical  understanding of airline operations, internal decision-making and the interaction between legal, regulatory, technological and operational risks. I advise and represent airlines and aviation businesses. I do not act for passengers pursuing claims against air carriers.

AIRLINE LITIGATION & COMPLIANCE

I represent airlines before Czech courts and assist foreign carriers requiring local counsel in the Czech Republic.

My practice includes passenger claims under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, contractual and commercial disputes, damages claims, jurisdictional issues and other litigation arising from airline operations.

Effective defence begins before the first court submission. The relevant operational facts and evidence must be identified, preserved and assessed against the applicable legal framework. The objective is not to contest every claim. It is to distinguish matters that should be resolved efficiently from cases that warrant a robust defence and to ensure that recurring litigation is handled consistently.

AVIATION REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE

Airlines operate within a complex framework of Czech, EU and international regulation. I provide legal analysis and representation in regulatory matters affecting airline operations in the Czech Republic, including compliance assessments, communication with public authorities and proceedings that may develop into administrative or judicial disputes. 

My approach combines regulatory analysis with litigation strategy where necessary.

AVIATION CYBERCESURITY & EASA PART-IS 

Information security has become an integral part of aviation regulation and operational resilience. My experience includes senior-level involvement in airline cybersecurity governance, information security management, business impact analysis, continuity and recovery planning and incident-management processes.

I advise aviation organisations on the interaction between EASA Part-IS, NIS2, cybersecurity regulation, supplier risk, incident reporting and internal governance. This allows regulatory requirements to be assessed not merely as formal compliance obligations, but in the context of actual airline operations.

AIRLINE DATA PROTECTION & GDPR

Since 2018, I have worked directly with data protection within the airline sector. I advise on GDPR compliance, passenger and customer data, DPIAs, data processing arrangements, international transfers, security incidents, supervisory authority proceedings and privacy governance.

Airline data protection frequently overlaps with cybersecurity, operational systems and regulatory obligations. I therefore approach privacy issues within their wider operational context.

COMMERCIAL & OPERATIONAL LEGAL SUPPORT

Airline operations depend on a complex network of contractual relationships with suppliers, technology providers, agents and other commercial partners. I assist with contract negotiation, legal risk assessment, contractual disputes and enforcement.

Where a commercial disagreement affects ongoing operations, the priority is to determine quickly whether the relationship should be preserved, renegotiated or enforced.

CZECH EXTERNAL COUNSEL FOR INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES

Foreign airlines operating to or from the Czech Republic may require local legal support without maintaining a permanent Czech legal team. I can act as Czech external counsel for individual matters, recurring litigation or ongoing legal and compliance support.

This may include: representation before Czech courts • passenger and EU261 claims • Czech legal opinions • regulatory proceedings • pre-litigation correspondence • commercial and contractual matters • cybersecurity and data protection • communication with Czech authorities • coordination with in-house legal teams and international counsel.

As an independent Czech attorney, I remain personally involved in the analysis, strategy and representation of each matter entrusted to me.
