Kalbian Hagerty LLP provides a full range of aviation purchase, leasing, subleasing, registration, title and finance structuring services. We work with clients from the initial stages of an aircraft purchase to final tender and acceptance of delivery to include assisting aviation clients with structuring aviation finance trusts, designating operating and establishing schedules of equipment, engines and any spares which are assigned to airframe.

When a client wishes to lease, sublease or sell aircraft, we work closely with the client and institutional investors to place or dispose of trust assets. These services include undertaking accelerator transactions to obtain title clearances for airframes and pooled engines, propellers and spares as well as negotiating charter and carrier agreements, landing rights agreements, code share agreements, and leases and subleases.

Kalbian Hagerty LLP works closely with domestic and international clients on aircraft registration matters to include registration on the U.S. registry and the International Registry. Since September 2001, U.S. registered aircraft cannot be purchased directly by non-U.S. citizens. We assist international clients in structuring single-purpose entity trusts so that the aircraft can remain on the U.S. registry temporarily until the aircraft can be ferried to and registered in the new country or on the International Registry. These trusts are especially useful if the aircraft require maintenance or modifications before export.
