Guernsey launched 2-REG, the Guernsey aircraft registry,
at the end of 2013. Here, Dominic Wheatley, Chief Executive of
Guernsey Finance, explains what it offers international clients,
particularly with the recent introduction of Air Operator
Certificates.
Guernsey's aviation registry, 2-REG, was the first of its
kind to be established in the Channel Islands.
It offers a flexible and cost-effective register for the owners,
operators and lessors of aircraft, as well as their advisors, in a
jurisdiction renowned for its experience in financial services and
as a safe and reliable domicile.
There are three separate registers: one each for aircraft,
engines and charges. The charges register is important in ensuring
that the financing arrangements on the aircraft and engines can
also be undertaken in a stable environment.
