Your rights in the event of defects – What you can do as an aircraft owner

If defects are caused by the shipyard during maintenance or repair of an aircraft, you as the client have various statutory rights at your disposal. First, you should report the defect in writing and give the shipyard a reasonable deadline to remedy the defect. If the shipyard does not remedy the defect, you have the right to subsequent performance, i.e. the remedy of the defect or the provision of a new, defect-free service.

If the shipyard refuses to make repairs, you can have the defect repaired yourself and claim back the costs incurred from the shipyard, a process known as self-repair. In the case of serious defects, you also have the option of withdrawing from the contract and demanding a refund of any payments already made.

You also have the right to a reduction, which allows you to reduce the invoice amount appropriately. In addition, you can claim compensation for additional damage or loss of use caused by the defective work. These rights help you to protect your interests and ensure that you receive professional service.
