The Isle of Man now has its own civil aircraft register, using M-xxxx registrations. It is aimed primarily at executive jet owners who might otherwise use Bermuda registrations. Tax advantages are offered as well.
Edit to remove web link.

One of the two aircraft currently on the IOM register, C525B M-ELON flew Ronaldsway to Biggin Hill today
The other aircraft on the register at the moment is C560XL M-BWFC (the letters standing for a Football Club in the NW)

The permutations of words starting with the letter 'M' is mind boggling:eek:
No....don't even think about it.:hmm:
Ironic when the IOM-based airlines all seem to want all their aircraft to be registered in Austria, Czech Republic, etc.

M-ICRO arrived in the UK yesterday - I believe it is a Citation CJ2. It only passed through the Isle of Man en route to the UK.

That's because the CAA won't let Manx based operators to have UK AOC's.

C525A M-ICRO seems pretty active being noticed at Gamston (think its based here), Blackbushe, Humberside & Weston.
Out of Humberside it used a Eastern Airways callsign so presumably associated to that organisation somehow

Is there a web site to show all the ones that have been registered?
It will take a bit of getting used to as M-BWFC came in today and I asked the question to an airport worker where is this one from.
With a number of the aircraft being Execitive jets only a number of place in the U.K will see them as some airfields will hardly see any at all.:ok::ok:

For what's it's worth (i.e. there aren't too many aircraft registered - yet!), there is a Manx Gov't website, which tells you where they up to at present.

WNC is correct and I have amended the list.
Also look out for a Legacy and Gulfstream 4 soon.

I understand the tax`implications but fail to see what the real benefit is. To achieve this recognition the manx government will have had to set up a department and recruit someone with the skills to inspect a/c. Within a short time another country will be up and running and offering a better deal as I understand that financial rules apply to all EU members and Manx is also mandated to EU fiscal rules?

The Isle of Man is not an EU member.
HZ123
19th Aug 2007, 07:09
It is is not a full member but it has signed into the EU tax scheme some years ago and is fully compliant to the same rules. It must also I would hazard buy into the same voluntary aviation policys permitting the 'M' reg to fly within the EU.
Hello
Can anyone tell me how many of the newly 'M' registered aircraft will actually be based on the Island ? Any info would be greatly appreciated !
Would loooove to be based there ! :{

M-ELON..Cessna CJ3................525B-0148...ex N148CJ
M-BWFC..Cessna 560XLS.............560-5690....ex N560FC
M-ICRO..Cessna 525A Citation CJ2..525A-0347...ex N5262X
M-ONTY..Sikorsky S-76B............760356......ex G-BWDO
M-AGIC..Cessna 680 Citation.......680-0138....New

M-ANIN..Socata TB20 Trinidad......2161........ex N882
M-HDAM..HS125-800B................258037......ex 7O-ADC
M-GINZ..Socata TB-20 Trinidad GT..2140........ex N565G
M-MANX..Cessna 425................425-0044....ex N425HS
M-GULF..Gulfstream IV.............1082........ex N1082A
M-YNJC..Embraer EMB135-BJ.........14500961....ex G-ONJC
M-YSKY..Beech Hawker 390 Premier..RB209.......New
Sorry for the poor formatting - don't know how to add spaces.
The Isle of Man has many differing and beneficial Tax Rules to anywhere else !
For a start the Company Tax rate is zero.
As regards to the benefits of the IOM register one of the main benefits is ESCAPE from CAA burocracy, the register recognises most ICAO licences and will endorse them to fly M reg aircraft........you work it out !!
The register has no need to employ certification personnel etc., it uses consultants.
In a nutshell the IOM has a very successful shipping register, the Aircraft Register will be just as successful.
The IOM is NOT part of the UK it IS part of the British Isles.
The IOM is NOT a member state of the EU.
Hope this helps. :ok:

From my own experience the amount of red tape is incredible - practically zero!
Also there is no insurance premium tax on the Island - 5% saving on a policy on a $20,000,000 a/c is a considerable amount.
