Aruba Aircraft Registry Sees Increased Asia Interest
With several customers in the region, the P4 registry is making its first trip to ABACE.

Making its ABACE debut this year is the Aircraft Registry of Aruba, which has recently seen increasing interest from Asian operators. According to Alexandria Colindres, the registry’s director of business development, the public/private partnership is anticipating the awarding of its first air operator certificate (AOC) to an Asian operator this summer.

Established in 1995, the Aruba registry (Booth H418) currently has more than 150 commercial and private aircraft under its P4 registration, including an Airbus ACJ319 from Business Aviation Asia, and a Sino Jet BBJ. Arriving soon will be a Falcon 900B from a private operator. “In the last year and a half we’ve been getting a lot of influx from the Asian market, so we just thought it made a lot of sense for us to come over here [to ABACE in Shanghai] to meet with our already existing clients and also to broaden our exposure within the market,” said Colindres.
