First Year Of Aircraft Registry Is ‘A Boost For Guernsey Plc’

The Channel Islands Aircraft Registry, 2-REG, has completed its first year in business and registered aircraft with a combined value of more than £250m, the Guernsey Press has reported.

Operator SGI Aviation said it had been a successful year, though a lawyer closely involved in some of the registrations made said that business had gone in a different direction to what was originally expected.

In its first year, 2-REG has completed 32 registrations of small aircraft from Guernsey residents and large aircraft of corporate owners and lessors. As part of that it has issued more than 400 certificates, approvals, permits and validations and carried out business transactions with 34 different countries.
