The Isle of Man Aircraft Registry has registered its 700th aircraft.
It was a Bombardier Challenger business jet, which was surveyed and registered in Hong Kong.
The registry has seen strong growth since it was established in May 2007
Minister for Economic Development Laurence Skelly MHK says the Registry contributes significant income for the Government, supports jobs in the Island’s financial and professional services industry and provides a very positive experience for clients.
Brian Johnson, Director of Civil Aviation adds that the Isle of Man Aircraft Registry continues to be the best in the world for quality of service and speed of registration.
Two new aircraft per week are being added on average, although in the first 15 days of May this year the registry team received 15 new aircraft applications for registration.
