The Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) is Bermuda’s aviation regulator and operates an offshore aircraft registry for private and commercial aircraft. It describes its registry as the world’s largest offshore option and offers solutions for individual aircraft and entire fleets. Its commercial registry serves aircraft operating under an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and arrangements under Article 83 bis.

BCAA’s services include aircraft registration, airworthiness and operational oversight, licensing, and support for commercial aviation. It also provides Article 83 bis transition and storage services, air transport licensing, visiting aircraft guidance, and foreign operator permits. The authority publishes requirements, policies, advisory circulars, notices, and fees to help aircraft owners and operators understand regulatory obligations.

Safety is central to its work. BCAA regulates aviation safety risks, supports occurrence reporting, and provides information on drone operations, other aerial activities, and no-fly zones in Bermuda. Its website also offers customer support, online payments, registry information, and access to its business development team.
