Corporate Setup
A regulated aviation fund is typically established as a Qualified Investor Alternative Investment Fund (QIAIF). These funds cater to the increasing investor demand for aviation opportunities within a regulated structure, rather than through alternative unregulated structures like SPVs or securitisations.
Waystone offers extensive experience and specialised services to ensure your aviation vehicle is set up for success.
