Elevating Legal Solutions for the Aviation Industry
Guiding owners, operators, and financiers through regulatory compliance, financing, and transactions
Fletcher Robbe International’s Aviation practice offers a full spectrum of legal services tailored to the complex and highly regulated aviation industry. We represent aircraft owners and operators in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enforcement proceedings, investigations, and regulatory compliance matters, ensuring that our clients maintain operational integrity and compliance. Working alongside our corporate and tax attorneys, we provide robust transactional support for aircraft purchases, sales, FAA registration, financing, tax considerations, and fractional ownership. Our expertise extends to dry and wet lease arrangements, insurance, U.S. citizenship requirements, and voting trust matters, addressing the intricate legalities of aircraft ownership and operation.
Our business aviation practice encompasses the full range of transactional and regulatory issues that corporate aircraft owners and operators encounter. Our clients range from Fortune 100 companies with expansive flight departments to private individuals with fractional ownership. Some clients own a small stake in a corporate jet, while others manage extensive flight operations or public air carriers. Our attorneys assist in all aspects of aircraft transactions—purchase, sale, leasing, management, and finance. We also provide guidance on flight department management and aircraft usage to ensure compliance with FAA operational regulations and requirements.
Beyond transactions, Fletcher Robbe International advises clients on essential contractual matters, representing charter operators, management companies, and fixed-base operators (FBOs) in negotiations and documentation. Whether clients operate small turboprops or large commercial aircraft, we support their operational needs with tailored solutions. Our team’s comprehensive industry knowledge allows us to address regulatory and transactional complexities effectively, enabling clients to focus on efficient, compliant, and successful aviation operations.
