To register aircraft
An aircraft can be registered in Sweden if the owner is a Swedish citizen or a citizen within the EEA (European Economic Area).
New routine regarding registration and updating of emergency transmitter ELT406
As of March 1, 2022, the Swedish Maritime Administration is the responsible authority for handling owner/holder contact information for ELT406 for Swedish-registered civil aircraft.
At the same time that the Swedish Maritime Administration takes over responsibility, new routines are introduced which mean that an owner/holder is responsible for administering (registering and updating) their information about ELT406 in the International Beacon Registration Database (IBRD).
The Swedish Transport Agency can approve registration of aircraft in Sweden, even if the requirement above is not met. This type of approval can only be given if the aircraft is generally used with Sweden as a base.
