Aircraft taxation in India depends heavily on how the aircraft is categorized and operated — getting this structure right at acquisition has a lasting impact on cost.
Aircraft imported for commercial charter use under a Non-Scheduled Operator's Permit are generally taxed far more favorably than aircraft imported for private/personal use, which attracts substantially higher duty and GST. This distinction is often the single biggest cost lever in a purchase decision.
Many owners structure acquisition through a dedicated aviation entity holding an NSOP, using the aircraft for both charter revenue and their own travel — invoiced internally at market rates. We help evaluate whether this structure fits your situation.
Selling internationally or relocating an aircraft out of India involves deregistration, export documentation and coordination with DGCA and customs authorities.
Once operating, charter revenue is subject to GST on services rendered, with different treatment depending on route (domestic vs. international) and aircraft category.
Our Aircraft Management service handles day-to-day operation, crew, maintenance and revenue generation once you've acquired.
