ECCAA Seeks FAA Guidance over St. Vincent 747-400 Registration Plan
One Caribbean’s request to put a 747-400 on the SVG register represents ECCAA’s biggest-ever certification challenge.

The Antigua-headquartered Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) is consulting closely with the FAA over a request by charter operator One Caribbean to put a 21-year-old Boeing 747-400 on the register of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).

The 747-400 was originally operated by Taiwan’s China Air Lines but went into storage at Victorville, California, in October 2017 with the U.S. registration N508BB. Soon after One Caribbean flew it to Saint Vincent’s Argyle International Airport on May 24, the aircraft’s owners asked ECCAA to re-register the aircraft. One Caribbean already holds an aircraft operator's certificate (AOC) awarded by ECCAA, but until it took delivery of the PW4056-powered 747 it operated just one aircraft, an SVG-registered Beech 1900D, on private-charter work.
