Aviation services

For the last three decades, Fidux has worked with charter and private aircraft operators. Its aviation work covers fleet and crew management, financial services, leasing strategies and finding counterparties for aircraft deals. It also supports clients with financing and leasing arrangements.

How a Gibraltar aircraft structure works

• A Gibraltar limited company is set up to buy and own the aircraft.
• For a fleet, a second company can act as the leasing company, so the owning side is kept apart from the operating side.
• Fidux can run the paperwork: insurance, accounts, invoicing, debt collection, bookkeeping, lease and administration agreements, maintenance schedules and cash pooling.
• The shares of the holding company are often placed in a trust, with a trustee who must act for the beneficiaries.

Keeping ownership apart from operations helps protect the aircraft, and other aircraft in the fleet, if something goes wrong.
