Global aviation asset management and trading company EirTrade Aviation announced thee new global authorisation by the Bailiwick of Guernsey (2-REG), Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands CAACI (VP-C) and Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority BCAA (VP-B) for operations, transitions, parking and storage at the company’s expanding Ireland West Airport facility. These authorities provide oversight of aircraft on their registers for compliance with the Overseas Territories Aviation Regulations and in addition, each have their own specific requirements.
EirTrade Aviation Quality Manager Jim Maguinness stated “Having added A320 NEO (PW1100) and A330 aircraft to our EASA Part-145 capabilities in 2025, we were looking to see how we could further extend and improve the line maintenance services we offer to airline and aircraft lessor customers. We observed that some leasing companies and operators were using Bailiwick of Guernsey (2-REG), Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands CAACI (VP-C) and Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority BCAA (VP-B) for operations, transitions, parking and storage – this presented an excellent opportunity for us to expand our capabilities to further support their requirements. The potential opportunities were realised immediately,” says Maguinness. “We welcomed two aircraft into parking and storage programmes – one is 2-REG and the second is Cayman Reg. Both are new customers for EirTrade Aviation Maintenance Limited.”
