Offshore fiduciary and administration specialist Estera Aviation (Booth S100), formerly Appleby Aviation, is exhibiting at this year’s EBACE show for the first time under its new name. The company helps businesses and individuals with all aspects of aircraft registration and can assist with registrations in no fewer than 10 offshore jurisdictions. These include its home base, the Isle of Man, which has registered some 850 private aircraft since its registry was founded nine years ago (with 467 still being active).
Estera’s technical director of aviation Brian Johnson, along with client director Sandra Georgeson and manager Aidan McCowliff are representing Estera in Geneva this week. The new name was adopted following a management buyout from the Appleby Group in December 2015.
With representatives of the Isle of Man government present at EBACE this year, Estera hopes to increase the number of aircraft registered there. “The Isle of Man aircraft registry continues to go from strength-to-strength,” said Simon Williams, Isle of Man director of Civil Aviation. “This success is very much down to the relationship the registry has with the island’s aviation sector, and with so many of them represented at EBACE this year, we will be able to truly showcase this aviation expertise on a global stage.”
