Aircraft Owner Trustee Services

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations allow non-U.S. citizens or companies to transfer the legal title of an aircraft to a trustee who is a citizen of the U.S., through a vehicle known as an aircraft owner trust.

Through an operating agreement, the purchaser or beneficiary maintains and operates the aircraft, while the trustee holds the legal title and files for FAA registration.

Emerald Aviation can serve as owner trustee to secure U.S. registered aircraft for non- U.S. citizens or corporations. For further information on this service please contact us.

"Emerald Aviation and Ed Dahlberg have been our aviation resource for many years. They have assisted us in every aspect of our aircraft transactions, from pre-buy inspections, interior refurbishments, to providing crews, and I couldn’t be happier with his efforts and results. I would recommend Emerald Aviation to anyone."
