    I cycle around the airport a fair bit and have noticed about 9 Spanair planes parked up and a couple of other out of business airlines, Malev being one.

    Anyone know why they're parked in Dublin?

    Also, cycling by the Airport a couple of days ago, most of the Spanair are gone. Have they been leased out for the summer? Who owns them?

    All those a/c you mention were returned to Leasor after the airline either went bankrupt (span Air and Malev) or the lease was up ( kingfisher). All get serviced by Dublin Aerospace and if a new leasee found, painted by Eirtech.

    A lot of the aircraft are owned by Irish leasing companys and a lot of aircraft painting is done at DUB.

    Ireland is at the forefront of aircraft leasing worldwide. You can blame our low corporation tax for that! A quick google search on aircraft leasing throws up loads of companies with headquarters in Ireland

    Ireland is pretty much the centre of the aircraft leasing world thanks in part both to a favourable regulatory regime and Tony Ryan's legacy at GPA.

    Correct
    If you want to register a ship in a country with 'No questions asked' regulation you would use Liberia.
    Similarly If you want to register an aircraft , you'd use Ireland.
