Why Ireland is the Ideal Jurisdiction for Aviation

Ireland is a global leader in the aviation leasing market, commanding an impressive 60% share. Home to over 50 aircraft leasing companies, 14 of which are among the top 15 worldwide, Ireland’s prominence in aircraft leasing is unmatched. Remarkably, an Irish-leased aircraft takes off somewhere in the world every two seconds.

Favorable Aircraft Leasing Tax Environment

This market dominance is largely due to Ireland's favorable tax and business environment. The country offers an attractive 12.5% corporation tax rate and an eight-year capital write-off for aircraft assets. Furthermore, Ireland’s extensive network of tax treaty partners enhances international efficiency, making it a highly supportive jurisdiction for the flight sector.

Malta: A Growing Aviation Services Hub

Malta has rapidly emerged as a regional center for aircraft registration, sales, acquisitions, and financing structures. Its strategic geographical position, EU membership, and status as an English-speaking nation make it an attractive destination for aircraft importation and AOC registration.

Ownership and registration

Recent legal developments have bolstered Malta’s appeal as a flight hub. The current regulatory framework allows for the registration of various aircraft types, including those not related to commercial air transport. Fractional ownership of aircraft is also recognized, enabling co-owners to finance their respective shares independently. Additionally, aircraft under construction can be registered, provided they are uniquely identifiable.

A Range of Customer Benefits

Malta’s adoption of the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and its Aircraft Protocol offers secured lenders enhanced protection and effective remedies, leading to lower borrowing costs. The island’s favorable tax regime and relatively low labor costs further contribute to its success as a hub for several airlines’ maintenance centers, providing a wide range of large- and small business technical services such as management of aircraft maintenance and engine maintenance, repair and overhaul, training, and other support.
