  • An affidavit or certified true copies of the Bill of Sale (proof of ownership) AND/OR Lease Agreement where the registered owner is a Charterer by Demise.
  • Certified true copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and list of company directors.

Note: The Bermuda Aircraft Registry has due diligence policies and procedures in place to be fully compliant with the anti-money laundering protocols.  The extent of the due diligence is risk-based and the information above will enable BCAA to conduct a due diligence review on applicants prior to permitting an individual or company to place an aircraft on the Bermuda Aircraft Registry. This protects the reputation of all owners and operators on the Bermuda Aircraft Registry.
