From the latest statistics, 665 aircrafts are currently
registered in Malta's Aviation Register. This reflects a 500%
growth in a period of ten years.
Malta enacted the Aircraft Registration Act in 2010, which joins
other legislative packages in ensuring that Malta continues
developing as a premier jurisdiction for international commercial,
estate planning and financial activity. Malta's established
reputation as a solid jurisdiction for ship finance, can now be
extended also to asset finance in general, as well as aircraft
finance in particular. Being a modern and sophisticated law which
besides regulating aspects of aircraft registration, ownership,
nationality, aircraft mortgages, special privileges and related
matters, it introduces innovative concepts with the sole purpose of
establishing a more competitive aircraft register.
