The British overseas territory of Gibraltar launched its own aircraft registry on August 4, 2026, with the signature of an agreement between the government of The Rock and Aviation Registry Group, a specialized aviation services firm led by David Colindres, which runs also the aircraft registries of Aruba and San Marino. However, the new registry is not yet open for business and will still need to pass an audit conducted by the newly created Gibraltar Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), which will be under the supervision of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of the United Kingdom. Aircraft owners will be able to apply for their aircraft to be registered in Gibraltar before the end of 2026. It is expected that the first users of the new registry will primarily be executive aviation operators and private jet owners and operators, although commercial operators could use the VP-G registration in the future. Aviation Registry Group is pitching the Gibraltar registry on the back of the territory’s Common Law jurisdiction and an internationally competitive tax regime.
