There is no single best jurisdiction, the right choice depends on the aircraft's use, where it operates, financing arrangements, and the owner's own tax and legal position. Affinity can help assess the options once these factors are understood, working alongside the client's legal and tax advisers.

A special purpose vehicle (SPV) is a company established specifically to own and register a single aircraft. It separates the aircraft and its associated liabilities from an owner's other assets and business activities.

Not necessarily, but most owners of higher-value or commercially operated aircraft use a corporate structure rather than personal ownership, for reasons including liability containment, financing requirements, and registration rules in certain jurisdictions.

Affinity can coordinate the administrative and corporate aspects of establishing an ownership structure and support registration-related requirements, subject to our client-acceptance procedures. Registration itself is a matter for the relevant aircraft register.

No. Affinity provides corporate and administrative services and works alongside the client's chosen legal, tax and accounting advisers, coordinating with independent specialists where required.
