Business Aircraft
The purchase, sale, and operation of business aircraft require a multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional approach.
Missing a step or getting it wrong can have significant legal and tax consequences.
It is not unusual for business aircraft transactions to involve sellers, buyers, banks, operators and ownership entities all being in different countries and subject to different and potentially conflicting laws and regulations. It is imperative to have a good team in place as early as possible to deal with all contractual, operational, registration, regulatory and tax aspects of the intended transactions.

EXPERTS IN ALL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS AIRCRAFT TRANSACTIONS
Business aircraft transactions can be lengthy and complex. Each client and each aircraft will have its own set of circumstances that dictate a tailored and prudent approach. Stakeholders typically go beyond just a buyer and a seller and may involve brokers, banks, maintenance facilities, various service providers as well as civil aviation, customs, tax and other authorities that may have jurisdiction over the aircraft at any given point in time in the transaction.
