Hey guys.
I see a lot of November airplanes operating here and there in Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and so on... I even saw a domestic fleet in Laos with French callsigns. They are mostly owned by Americans or Europeans, and they're apparently making business out of it.
I was wondering what was the status of these airlines/flight schools.
How's this thing possible?
Are they considered as Americans or local companies?
Can they only hire FAA (or JAA) pilots? No locals?
How about the tax and all that stuff?
Are they under the FAA or the local regulations?
How difficult is it to bring abroad a N aircraft for business pruposes?
All that might seems dumb to you. But I just can't understand. All apologizes and please, enlight me.
