Aircraft Transaction Lawyer

CANADIAN AIRCRAFT EXPORT/IMPORT LAWYER

Experienced legal services related to the exportation and importation of aircraft.

When acquiring an aircraft from a foreign country, whether from the aircraft manufacturer or a reseller, there are a variety of legal and tax considerations that need to be appropriately addressed in the acquisition process. Rarely are such purchase transactions a simple process, given the legal consequences of crossing international boundaries and being subjected to customs, taxes and regulatory requirements.

Given these legal considerations, the exportation and importation of a recently acquired aircraft is rarely a straightforward process. Instead, intelligent legal structuring should be undertaken such that the acquisition and operation of the aircraft is made that much more efficient, thereby lessening customs and taxes, minimizing the impact of regulatory and legal requirements, and optimizing the operational structure. This might involve holding the aircraft through a specially created corporate entity, registering the aircraft in a third country with more favorable tax and/or legal treatment, or making such alternate arrangements as might provide a preferable structure for acquiring and owning the particular aircraft.
