Aircraft Registration

The Isle of Man introduced an international aircraft register for private and corporate aircraft in May 2007. It is the intention of the Isle of Man Government that the Aircraft Register will mirror the quality and success of the Island’s highly respected and successful Shipping and Superyacht Register.

To register an aircraft it must weigh more than 5,700kgs other than for residents or businesses operating from the Isle of Man.

An aircraft registered in the Isle of Man will carry the prefix ‘M’ on it which has been designated as the Isle of Man country designation for registered aircraft.

In the first twelve months of operation the Aircraft Register has already registered more than 50 aircraft and expects this high volume of registration to continue.
