Since the coming into force of the Aircraft Registration Act in 2010, Malta’s aviation sector has grown significantly. The Maltese Government has adopted strategies to promote Malta as an aviation hub through attractive legislation and fiscal incentives, attracting top global entities to establish operations here.
Ganado Advocates played a key role in developing local aviation law, drafting the Aircraft Registration Act of 2010, and advising on Malta’s accession to the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and its Aircraft Protocol factors that are highly valued by financiers.
Our aviation team regularly advises aircraft financiers, owners, lessors, and operators. We assist with aircraft transactions of all sizes and complexities, offering expertise in aviation finance and leasing, security interests over aircraft registered in Malta, and structuring air-finance deals through syndicated loans and securitisation.
Collaborating with our colleagues in tax, corporate, litigation, banking and finance, and capital markets, we provide clients with fully integrated legal advisory services.
