How It Works

Pre-Registration Consultation – We assess your aviation needs and guide you on eligibility, ownership structures, and compliance with Malta’s aircraft registration regulations for private or commercial use.

Document Preparation & Submission – Our team assists in preparing and submitting all required documents, including proof of eligibility (OECD residency for private aircraft or operator certificate applications for commercial), ensuring compliance with Malta’s aviation authority.

Provisional Registration – Aircraft can be provisionally registered in Malta, allowing operational use while final documentation, including operator certificates for commercial aircraft, is processed.

Compliance & Inspections – We coordinate with Malta’s aviation authority to ensure your aircraft meets safety and operational standards through document evaluation, inspections, and demonstration phases, adhering to EU and international regulations.

Final Registration & Certification – Upon fulfilling all requirements, Malta’s aviation authority issues the final registration certificate and, for commercial aircraft, the necessary operator certificates, confirming your aircraft’s legal and operational status.
