Since the introduction of Guernsey's aircraft registry, the 2-Reg, in 2013, aircraft financing continues to grow in popularity in the island, according to offshore law firm Carey Olsen.

Guernsey has become a highly-regarded jurisdiction for aircraft finance alongside other domiciles such as Cayman and the BVI due to its tax-efficient nature, which has been endorsed by the increased volume of transactions.

Following the law firm's involvement with the first registration of an Airbus A319 on the 2-Reg as the legal adviser to a major international aircraft leasing and finance business, Carey Olsen's corporate team in Guernsey has since advised on a variety of aircraft financing deals.
