Understanding the Options Available for Business Aircraft Owners

In less than 4 months’ time the UK will leave the European Union (31 December 2020). At the time of writing there is no agreement in place to determine what the status of goods (including business aircraft) imported into the EU (including the UK and Isle of Man) before 31 December 2020 will be.

In the newsletter attached Martyn Fiddler Aviation outline the list of possible results, explaining the impact of each scenario and the work that will be requested of aircraft owners in order to remain in free circulation in both the UK and the EU.

Our team have accomplished what politicians can’t… We’ve joined the pieces and developed solutions to overcome whatever the implications of Brexit may be.

The approval of a suspension of Parliament by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on 28 August 2019 will be seen by many as the final step for the UK to leave the EU on 31 October 2019 without a deal in place for future trade & customs relations. So what does a ‘no deal Brexit’ mean for corporate aircraft flying into & within the EU?

29 March 2019 is fast approaching and there is still no decision or agreement between the EU and UK regarding the customs union. Similarly there is no decision of what the status of goods currently in free circulation in the EU/UK will be after 29 March 2019. It is therefore natural for aircraft owners to wonder what will happen to their aircraft’s circulation status after Brexit. Read our advice here…

We are often asked to advise which aircraft registry is best for a client. The answer should be a simple one, however, an increasing range of competing factors and the ever growing list of new aircraft registers has complicated matters.

Once an aircraft is in free circulation in the EU many people assume that “that’s it, the aircraft may come and go in EU territory as it pleases”. The truth, as ever, is not quite so simple.
