This is our background
Dedicated to aviation with extensive legal and aviation experience we have specialized in minimizing VAT exposure for aircraft owners and operators flying within the EU.
Our team has more than 20 years of cumulative experience. We developed the original “Danish Route” and references testify to our success. We have processed more than 1,500 aircraft and Customs Authorities in other EU Member States including France, Germany and the UK have inspected several of these aircraft and we have had no reported difficulties.
Our management team
CEO Lasse Rungholm is an aviation lawyer specializing in EU importation and all matters related to EU VAT and aircraft. Lasse is also a certified commercial pilot with an ATPL with multiengine land and seaplane ratings. He flies his L29 Jet regularly and has been in the business with aircraft importations since the mid-1990s.
CFO Frank Hansen holds a Masters Degree from the Aarhus School of Business. Frank handles all administrative matters and personally ensures that the aircraft and the corresponding paperwork is handled in the most efficient manner possible.
Handling in Denmark
It is a requirement that your aircraft must land at Aarhus Airport (EKAH) and stay here while we handle all the paperwork. All the costs of the visit are included except for fuel, oil and de-ice for the aircraft - and technical assistance if needed. Nothing else needs to be paid separately in Denmark. We take care of handling fees, airport fees, transportation, accommodation, food, catering etc. The importation is normally handled overnight.
We aim to provide a service that is without comparison including a 24/7 help desk and a flawless service when the aircraft is in Denmark for the duration of the procedure.
Documentation for our procedure
Our documentation includes a printed version of the regular EU-wide recognized official customs form (normally referred to as the IM A, EU A, C88) typed in English - stamped and signed by Danish Customs as well as the standard print reports now issued in Denmark. The aircraft can be used anywhere at anytime in the EU.
