Summary

This case arises from a contract to provide aviation-related security services in Afghanistan. The Plaintiff, the Olive Group FZ-LLC (Olive Group), is a Dubai-based company that contracted with the Afghanistan Civil Aviation Authority (ACAA) to provide security services at four airports in Afghanistan. The Olive Group commenced arbitration proceedings in 2021 alleging breach of contract, and an arbitrator issued an award in its favor in 2023. The Olive Group then brought this action to enforce the arbitration award against the ACAA. When the ACCA failed to answer, the Clerk of Court entered default. Before the Court is the Olive Group's Motion for Default Judgment. For the reasons explained below, the Court grants the motion.
