Registering An Aircraft In Mauritius

1. Governing laws

The Civil Aviation Act 1974 together with the Civil Aviation Regulations 2007 govern all aspects of aircraft registration, mortgage or leasing in the Republic of Mauritius.

The Civil Aviation Department (CAD) is the authority overseeing all matters related to licensing, certification and regulation of aircraft, flight crew, aviation security and safety issues.

Any application for registration with the Mauritius International Aircraft Registry (MIAR) must be made through a Management Company licensed by the FSC, such as AAMIL Ltd, which will also assist in all dealings with the CAD.
