Advantages of the registry
The Registry is operated by the Isle of Man Government’s Department of Economic Development which provides a top quality, cost effective and highly efficient service together with access to senior decision makers who are readily available and happy to answer any queries. The world class level of customer service provided by the registry staff coupled with their willingness to be flexible and readily available outside of normal working hours or during weekends to ensure that registrations are processed efficiently and expeditiously is a key feature in its success. The Government’s significant investment into a new online registration system that will result in a more streamlined registration process is a clear indicator that it is committed to ensuring that the Registry and its workings remain industry leaders and at the ‘top of their game’. The speed, efficiency and professionalism of the Registry and its staff are recognised throughout the industry, with an industry leader recently quoted as saying: “When you want something done quickly you pick up the phone and it gets done… in terms of just getting things done, if you want an approval, it is very quick and very efficient.”
Registration of mortgages
The Register permits the registration of mortgages over aircraft on a secure mortgage register and institutions or individuals funding the acquisition of an aircraft on the Register can be reassured by the system of mortgage registration and priority which mirrors the English system coupled with the extremely competitive pricing structure.
Unlike many other jurisdictions, the Registry permits the registration of mortgages outside of office hours.
Flexibility with aircraft crew, licences and maintenance
The Island adopts a pragmatic approach to regulation and licensing whilst maintaining the highest international standards. Generally, the Registry will accept aircraft, crew licences and maintenance programmes/operators that comply with reputable international standards. This leads to significant cost savings for owners choosing the Isle of Man over other less flexible jurisdictions.
