Cargo Operator Sues GA Telesis For Breach Of Contract

ASTAR Air Cargo Says 727-200 Sale Was Mishandled

ASTAR Air Cargo (ASTAR) filed a lawsuit Monday in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against Fort Lauderdale, FL-based GA Telesis, accusing the commercial aircraft broker and leasing company of fraud, breach of contract, and breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing over the sale of Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft N751DH to ASTAR.

"ASTAR's executives have been directly involved in the lease and purchase of hundreds of aircraft, and we have never experienced a more outrageous breach of business ethics and standards of dealing," the company said in a release to ANN.

ASTAR alleges that GA Telesis and the other parties acted in bad faith, reneging upon their agreement to sell the aircraft to ASTAR weeks after reaching an unconditional and irrevocable deal. ASTAR also claims the defendants lied about their commitment to closing the transaction on the agreed-to date and sought to get a higher purchase price for the aircraft.

"This is an example of bad actors acting badly with malicious intent, and GA Telesis has failed to meet the standard of even a modest level of integrity," said Stephen Dodd, ASTAR’s managing director for corporate finance. "ASTAR’s executives have been directly involved in the lease and purchase of hundreds of aircraft, and we have never experienced a more outrageous breach of business ethics and standards of dealing."

ASTAR has operated the aircraft under lease since 2002 and is asking the Court to order an immediate sale of the aircraft pursuant to the terms of the original agreement. ASTAR will also ask the Court to award punitive damages from the Defendants in an amount to be determined at trial.

ASTAR is being represented in the litigation by Hogan and Hartson of Miami and Troutman Sanders of Atlanta. GA Telesis is the broker/agent for the other named Defendants: Aviation Refinancing Transaction LLC, ART 22982 LLC and ART 21985 LLC.
