Aircraft Register Up And Running

The Isle of Man is now firmly on track for establishing its own aircraft register with the necessary regulations coming into force at the beginning of May.

Huge interest has been expressed internationally since the Island first unveiled the plan for a Manx register – which will be operated on the same principles as the successful shipping register. Most of the world’s leading ship groupings are now represented in the Island with several building their own management headquarters and employing significant numbers of staff. It has also attracted niche business for local banks and law firms. The Treasury is confident that an Isle of Man aircraft register will attract similar specialist business interests.
