Valiair

Valiair is a company that helps non-US aircraft owners register and operate aircraft on the US registry. Its main service is aviation owner trusts, which can suit everything from light aircraft to airliners. The company says it is an ACAMS member and carries out KYC and AML background checks.

An owner trust lets the owner vest legal title in a qualified US citizen trustee while keeping full economic ownership and day to day operational control. The company provides a trust agreement, an operating lease and a certificate of beneficial interest as part of the arrangement.

Other services include import, export and customs formalities, aircraft acquisition and sales, airworthiness and regulatory assistance, transaction, charter and lease support, and charter management. Aviation security services are also offered.

In January 2026 the company completed its acquisition of Southern Aircraft Consultancy, which brought more than 550 aircraft into its trust portfolio. It also acquired Superior Air Charter, a Part 135 on-demand charter operator based at Dallas Love Field.

For buyers and sellers, the company offers market research, negotiation and transaction support. It says it can source and sell aircraft from an internal portfolio of over 500 aircraft.

The company has a worldwide network of FAA certified experts for airworthiness and compliance. It offers a US agent for service and an FAA agent for service, so international owners can meet FAA correspondence rules.

Customs work includes formal import entries, export filings and cargo declarations for aircraft. Customs brokerage is provided through Import Export Logistics, Inc., a licensed US customs broker. The website is available in English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Arabic.
