Jersey Aircraft Registry woes continue as plane is grounded
JERSEY’S troubled aircraft registry has suffered another setback after it was left without a technical support service – forcing its only plane to be grounded by the regulator.
But because of the differences in structure between Jersey’s and Guernsey’s register, 2-Reg, this is not something Guernsey has to be concerned about.
The director of civil aviation suspended the airworthiness certificate of the sole Jersey aircraft – a Cessna private jet – after the UK firm which supplied specialist technical support to the registry ceased trading unexpectedly.
The jet has now been grounded until the certificate is renewed.
In Guernsey, the registry is entirely outsourced to Dutch company SGI Aviation in a 30-year deal.
