Aviation Contracts: Consumer Rights, And Transfer And Registry

Transfer and Registry

In the UAE, aircraft title can be transferred through a legal instrument in a form acceptable to the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and executed by the seller and the purchaser in writing. It must describe in detail the relevant aircraft and express the parties' intention to sell and purchase it.

Civil Aviation Regulations state in order to register an aircraft transfer document with the GCAA, it must meet the legal instrument conditions, be accompanied by a certified true copy of the document establishing the title, an original notarised power of attorney or any other original document of authorisation giving full powers to submit the related GCAA request (if applicable).
