Aircraft Services

With interests and family members that span the globe, many of our clients have their own aircraft to support their private lives and business operations. While owning an aircraft makes perfect sense when seeking privacy and ease of international movement, it does come with its own set of challenges and requirements to meet tax and regulatory obligations.

In seeking to simplify one part of their lives, it is important not to complicate another. Brexit has added an additional technical complication, with two customs unions now needing to be navigated by seeking to operate their aircraft across the UK and EU27.

Our Private Client team helps clients by ensuring that the management of their aircraft runs smoothly and that they understand the specialist administration required. Within JTC’s Private Office we proactively guide and educate our clients on how to manage these complex assets, whether for private or business use. Taxation of aircraft will always be an important aspect to understand and get right, and at JTC we ensure that robust, holistic and tailored advice is taken on a tailored, client-by-client basis.

What we do

Through our network of trusted professionals, we are able to help our clients identify the right aircraft for them. We will support them throughout the buying process to obtain a good purchase price, to secure appropriate financing and to ensure the aircraft is equipped to maintain the highest long-term market value.
