The system developed under the Cape Town Treaty to clarify ownership of aircraft and equipment is being made easier to use. Two years’ customer experience has driven changes aimed at improving International Registry of Mobile Assets (IRMA) processes used in recording individual financial interests.

Since its introduction in February 2006, the registry has concentrated on making the system more user friendly, a process that will continue for another few years. Software being introduced this month will add further enhancements and make registration “an order of magnitude faster,” according to Aviareto, a Dublin-based joint venture between telecommunications provider SITA and the Irish government, which has been entrusted with managing the IRMA system.
