AVIATION

Our firm provides specialised advisory services to aircraft owners and operators, focusing on the identification and implementation of the most suitable ownership and operational structures. Given the complexity of EU VAT and customs regulations, careful structuring is essential to ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary tax exposure.

Aircraft transactions require a strategic approach from the outset. Anticipating the future use, operational model, and geographical deployment of the aircraft is critical when designing an efficient ownership structure. Decisions taken prior to acquisition can have significant long-term tax and regulatory implications, making early-stage planning a key factor in achieving optimal outcomes.

We work closely with clients to develop bespoke solutions aligned with their operational, financial, and jurisdictional needs. Our services include the preparation of formal tax opinions, advisory support on aircraft acquisition and disposal, and guidance on operational and leasing structures.

By combining technical expertise with a forward-looking approach, we ensure that each structure is robust, compliant, and adapted to the intended use of the aircraft across relevant jurisdictions.
