Leading industry magazine, Corporate Jet Investor, has conducted the first ever survey to find out the views of leading business jet lawyers towards the various aircraft registries around the world.

They asked a list of recommended legal practitioners to name the best aircraft registry across four different categories. Around 20 lawyers from three continents replied and provided comments to accompany their votes.

The Isle of Man registry was the overall winner, narrowly picking up more nominations than the UK CAA and emerging as the winner in two separate categories. The general consensus amongst the lawyers was that the registry was the most "user-friendly" and ideal for aircraft not intended to operate commercially.

The results were as follows:
