The Isle of Man Aircraft Registry has announced the
registration of its 500th aircraft since its inception on 1 May
2007. The aircraft in question was a Bombardier Global 5000,
registration M-SEAS, which was delivered new from the factory in
Montreal Canada.
Minister for Economic Development, John Shimmin
MHK, commented:
"I would like to congratulate Hartley Elder and all the team
at the Registry on this achievement. The business-friendly approach
offered by the Registry and industry typifies the advantages of the
Isle of Man as an International Business Centre and has helped
establish the Island as a one stop shop for aviation
services."
Director of Civil Aviation, Hartley Elder,
commented:
"The Aircraft Register specialises in the registration of
Private and Corporate owned business jets; for many of the owners
of these jets, this would be their first experience of doing
business with the Isle of Man, we hope the 'first
impression' we create will encourage them to consider doing
more business with the island's private sector."
Furthermore, the Isle of Man Aircraft Registry has received another
important industry accolade, winning Overall Best Aircraft Registry
according to the Corporate Jet Investor 2012 Aircraft Registration
Survey.
It also won in the Quickest Speed of Service category and Most
Innovative category. The survey asked leading international lawyers
for their view on aircraft registries around the world. The general
consensus was that the Isle of Man Registry was the most "user
friendly" and ideal for aircraft not intended to operate
commercially.
