Hinckley, Allen & Snyder's Business Aviation Practice Group represents clients in all aspects of purchasing, selling, financing and operating business aircraft.  We take particular pride in our representation of owners and operators of business and personal aircraft.  Our client list spans the entire spectrum of owners and operators from Fortune 500 companies to mid-sized businesses to individuals who own or operate their own aircraft.  We represent domestic as well as international clients and both importers and exporters of aircraft.

What We Do

The mission of the Business Aviation Practice Group is to guide our clients through the maze of tax, regulatory, liability and practical requirements that affect and complicate the ownership and operation of business aircraft.  We provide value-added counseling and service to our clients on a wide range of business aviation issues, including:  the structuring of ownership and operation of business aircraft and fractional shares to comply with FAA regulatory, risk management planning concerns and objectives; leasing and  finance; acquisitions and sales.  We also formulate strategic solutions to all of your state and federal tax concerns.  We recognize that business aircraft are used for personal travel and will work with you to accommodate such use without jeopardizing legitimate business deductions.  Our goal is to keep you operating legally, efficiently and safely.

We Are Solution Oriented

Most business aviation problems are multi-layered.  Sometimes the problems are more complex than expected.  The Business Aviation Practice Group takes the time to examine all of your goals, operating requirements and constraints before we propose a solution that meets your needs.  Whenever possible, we explore alternative ownership and operating structures.  We strive to provide a turnkey solution for you, a solution that continues to satisfy your needs for years to come.  However, as circumstances and conditions change, we are committed to continuing customer service to insure that your objectives continue to be met.  more
