Civil Aviation Authority working on creation of local aircraft registry

The Civil Aviation Authority and a new private company named Gibraltar Aircraft Registry Limited are working together on the creation of a local Aircraft Registry.

The Government says the registry will aim to attract high-end private and commercial aircraft, generating revenue through registration fees and other charges, and opening up business opportunities in the legal, finance and insurance sectors.

On Gibraltar Today, Director of Civil Aviation, Chris Purkiss, said Gibraltar was an attractive jurisdiction for this kind of service.
