Jurisdiction profiles
A flexible European (non-EU) register that lets a foreign individual or company own and register an aircraft without forming a local company — with full EASA and FAA licence validation and no minimum weight threshold.
Key facts
A particular or a foreign company — including a foreign SPV — can register a T7 aircraft without incorporating in San Marino, by appointing a resident domiciliation representative. Private, corporate, aerial-work and commercial use are all possible, and there is no 5,700 kg minimum, which makes it well suited to turboprops and light jets. Cape Town is ratified.
No local bank account is required to register; the SPV's banking is arranged separately, in its jurisdiction of incorporation or through private banking.
San Marino issues a Certificate of Validation that recognises all the privileges of an EASA or FAA licence, without restriction as to operator, type or seat — ideal for mixed EASA/FAA crews.
The natural choice when the aircraft is below 5,700 kg, when speed and flexibility matter, for mixed crews, or when commercial operation may follow.
Flyxchain designs and implements the ownership and operating structure end to end — holding and SPV setup, jurisdiction and registry selection, financing, and the continuing-airworthiness chain (CAMO and maintenance) — independently and always on the buyer's side.
