Guernsey’s 2-Reg aircraft registry marked its 10th anniversary last month. The British Crown dependency in the Channel Islands launched the registry in December 2013 and largely acts as a conduit for leased aircraft moving between lessors and lessees or for aircraft needing a temporary home while they are sold.

The offshore registry is open to fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters operated either privately or under a commercial air operator certificate but it does not accept drones. Most aircraft are registered in Guernsey for relatively short periods and 972 aircraft have been on the registry since its inception.
