About the Malta aircraft register

The Aircraft Registration Act came into force on 1 October 2010. Malta was the first EU member state to accede to the Cape Town Convention and its Aircraft Protocol after the EU did. The register takes commercial and private aircraft, and an aircraft can be registered while it is still being built. Balloons, gliders, seaplanes and helicopters all count as aircraft. There is no separate register for engines.
