Ownership and the SPV

An EU/EASA register (the authority is the ILT, with title recorded via the Kadaster). An EU/EEA nexus is required, and the typical SPV is a Dutch BV. (The Caribbean Netherlands uses the PJ prefix; Aruba is P4 and independent.)

Banking

EU/SEPA banking with standard KYC. No local account is required to register.

Crew licensing (EASA / FAA)

As an EU/EASA register, an EASA licence applies directly; an FAA pilot must convert or validate the licence.

When this flag fits

A solid, reputable EU flag, with flexible corporate law and a strong leasing ecosystem.
