Certainly, the most common piece of bad advice given to first-time aircraft buyers is, “just buy the aircraft in a separate limited liability company and you’ll never have any liability.” For numerous reasons, this is simply not true. Let us count the ways.
Each state may use different regulations, and you should check with your state if you are interested in starting a Limited Liability Company. Owners of an LLC are called members. Most states do not restrict ownership, and so members may include individuals, corporations, other LLCs and foreign entities. There is no maximum number of members.
In those cases, however, the typical way to handle this is to have your LLC act as a leasing company and lease the aircraft to those who will use it. The lessees/operators might be one or more owners, their companies, unaffiliated third parties, or perhaps a charter company.
