Discover the
Irish Difference

If your private aviation ambitions include frequent travel in the EU and U.K., you need to learn about the one-of-a-kind benefits of registering your aircraft in Ireland. The combined advantages of an Irish (EJ or EI) registration cannot be matched by any other registry in the world.

Operational Freedom

Irish registered aircraft can fly commercially throughout the European Union and domestically within the United Kingdom without permit restrictions, maximizing aircraft utilization and revenue. No other registry in the world that provides this benefit.

Tax Efficiency

Aircraft imported under ACASS benefit from 0% VAT. This allows you to avoid significant upfront and operating tax burdens.

Flexibility

An Irish registration gives you the ability to switch seamlessly between private and commercial operations, even within the same trip. You can take full advantage of operational models for leisure, business, and commercial travel.

Trust & Compliance

The Irish registry’s international aviation reputation and EASA compliance ensure confidence among regulators, financiers, suppliers and clients.

Legal Structure & Operational Framework

Ireland has a reputable and dependable regulatory and legal structure. It also has Article 83 bis agreements with 24 countries around the world (see full list at: https://www.iaa.ie/international/international-co-operation). This allows an aircraft to be registered in Ireland and transfer the airworthiness, flight operations, crew, and safety oversight to the state of the operator (i.e. one of the 24 countries).

Communication

Ireland has a central time zone and is the only native English speaking country in the EU. This offers a unique advantage in terms of communication with clients located all over the world.

Aircraft on the register carry the EJ prefix followed by four letters, allowing owners to select personalized registration marks.
