The Cayman Islands Aircraft Registry (CIAR) (www.caacayman.com/aircraft-registry) provides aircraft registration and certification services for aircraft within the jurisdiction or those based elsewhere.
Founded on UK legislation, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) is responsible for safety oversight and the economic regulation of the aviation industry in Cayman Islands and for all aircraft registered on the CIAR. Any person or company wishing to register an aircraft in Cayman must meet the exacting standards of the CAACI; these include submitting due diligence records within a registration application which meet International Anti-Money Laundering Law requirements. Annual registry fees are based on the weight of the aircraft. Financiers providing financing for Cayman registered aircraft can register their security interest on the Cayman Islands Aircraft Mortgage Register, which is supported by the CI Mortgaging of Aircraft Regulations 2015. Registration applications, certifications and ongoing authorisations happen within a bespoke secured data management portal, VP-C Online designed specifically for the CIAR.
