JB007,

Why are they putting it on the UK register? AFAIK, it will be the first one.

Mutt,

Why do you have such a problem with these type of aircraft staying off the G- register??

But to clear it up as my brother's wife's family own multiflight, the BBJ will be going on the G- register when it arrives.

Deek01,

If the aircraft is going to be used for Hire and Reward, then i totally agree with you that it should be UK registered.

If it is going to be a Companies Executive transport, I would have thought that a Caymen type register would offer better tax breaks and cheaper operating costs.

Isn't this the reason that Ford registered their aircraft in the Caribbean?

I also dont know of any JAR registered BBJ's, so i therefore find it interesting that this is the first company to go that route.

Mutt.

Talking

Ford have 2 BBJs on the Bermuda register and it saves them a fortune in allsorts of bureaucracy and taxes..Surely your company should look into the possible savings..You'll score a few points for suggesting it!!

Cool

26.2 is spot on.
At Ford we put our 2 BBJ's and our G IV on the Bermuda reg to escape the onerous costs,bureaucracy and delays of the CAA system. Prior to the BBJ's we had 2 MD-87's on the Bermuda reg as well because the CAA would not accept it as part of the MD-80 series and wanted full initial type certification at an un-imaginable cost.

Mutt,

To my knowledge, there are 3 BBJ's on a JAA register: HB-IIO / HB-IIP / HB-IIQ
all operated by PrivatAir in GVA.

Speech,

Now i am going to display my ignorance... "Is Switzerland part of JAA".

I knew about the PrivatAir aircraft, I just didnt consider them to be JAA certified....

Mutt,

Yes, althought not a EU member, Switzerland is a JAA member.
And this is why the PrivatAir BBJ's are not yet fitted with winglets. The winglets are not JAA certified, one of the problems is with the wingtip position lights.
