Our dedicated team works closely with aircraft owners, operators, legal and tax advisers and aircraft registries.
Affinity provides a range of aviation services.
We have been assisting High Net Worth Clients and corporate clients with bespoke aircraft structuring and administration since 2004.
Our jurisdictions, the Isle of Man and Malta, offer clients attractive regimes and vehicles to protect their assets.
We provide tailored ownership structures to suit each client’s individual requirements, with optimum focus on innovative tax efficient solutions whilst operating within the relevant rules and regulations.
In addition to our offering to aircraft owners, our Malta office is able to assist operators in obtaining their Air Operating Certificate (“AOC”) in Malta.
In 2023, we established an office in Miami which provides our clients with another attractive jurisdiction to structure their assets in.
