AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION AND MARKING

Read the official rule

This section outlines the rules for registering aircraft in Nigeria and includes requirements for ownership and marking. Aircraft must be primarily used in Nigeria and meet specific age and noise criteria. The registration process also covers deregistration circumstances and marking standards for aircraft to ensure clear identification.

Key points

  • Aircraft must be owned by eligible individuals or entities.
  • Only aircraft not exceeding certain age limits can be registered for commercial purposes.
  • Proper identification and nationality markings are mandatory and must comply with regulations.
  • Deregistration can occur if the owner no longer meets eligibility, the aircraft is lost, or the lease expires.
