The MFSA is proposing a notified framework for aircraft financial leasing companies. The initiative focuses on transitioning from a traditional licensing model to a notified regime for companies managing high-value aviation assets that meet specific thresholds, whilst maintaining high regulatory standards. By simplifying entry requirements for aircraft and aircraft engine leasing, Malta is being positioned as a more competitive and responsive hub for international aviation finance. This framework seeks to attract new institutional players to the islands, further diversifying the local financial services ecosystem and strengthening Malta’s reputation as a specialist jurisdiction for high-value asset management. Feedback is being sought on both the general features of the framework and the draft legislative instruments intended to bring these changes into effect.
