Transferring Ownership on The Cayman Islands Aircraft Register
The following are required steps to be taken before a new Certificate of Registration (C of R) can be issued to a new owner on the Cayman Islands Aircraft Register:
The current registered owner advises the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) that a transfer of ownership will be taking place. This can be done through the registered owner’s agent by email (accompanied by the relevant Power of Attorney from the owner) or a formal letter signed by the owner and sent by email.
The proposed new owner has to undergo the due diligence process as a first phase of the transfer. Please see due diligence checklist to be filled for the new registering company/beneficial owner. The registration application would be completed through our online Registry portal, VP-C Online. Please email registrationenquiries@caacayman.com when you are ready to complete the registration application and we can send you a link to the online application and instructions for completion. You would select “reservation mark already reserved” VP-C__. The 50% deposit is waived for new owners of an aircraft already on the register. Please let us know if you require further assistance in submitting the registration application for a change of ownership. Due Diligence can be completed within a few days after all required documents on the due diligence checklist have been submitted.
