British authorities are expected to decide by mid-February how and when to apply new operating rules to business aircraft registered in the UK’s overseas territories. These new rules will likely be based on the International Standards for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) drawn up and administered by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC).

Under the latest 2006 amendments to the UK’s Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order, owners, operators and manufacturers of airliners registered in the offshore jurisdictions have to prepare for complex changes covering operations, maintenance, airworthiness and air traffic issues. These apply to aircraft registered in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat, the Turks & Caicos Islands and the Falkland Islands.
