Aviation Registry Group (ARG), founded in 1992 by Sir Jorge Colindres Marinakis, is a global multidisciplinary aviation firm with more than 30 years of experience supporting governments, aviation authorities, aircraft owners and operators, corporations, leasing companies and financial institutions worldwide.

​

Beyond strategic consulting, ARG provides the end-to-end capabilities required to establish both Civil Aviation Authorities and Aircraft Registries from the ground up, creating an integrated operational model with distinct yet complementary functions. Whether a government is establishing a newly mandated aviation authority or upgrading an existing regulator that lacks the foundational frameworks required to operate effectively, ARG provides the expertise, infrastructure, and operational support necessary to build a fully functioning regulatory system aligned with international standards.

​

The firm’s work spans the development of regulatory and safety oversight frameworks for Civil Aviation Authorities, as well as the establishment and operation of world-class Aircraft Registries. ARG supports the full registry lifecycle, from technical administration and day-to-day client services to business development, communications, and global marketing.

​

Our registries are built on a foundation of unwavering commitment to safety. We prioritize safety above all else and have consistently pushed the boundaries to enhance safety-related regulatory requirements. This dedication to safety has earned our registries a solid reputation in the aviation industry and has contributed to the achievement of U.S. FAA Category 1 status for both Aruba and San Marino.

​

Another key difference is our personalized approach. Our commitment to understanding and meeting our clients’ specific needs sets us apart. We work closely with them to ensure their needs are met with efficiency and excellence. Our registries provide the flexibility of personalized service without ever compromising safety. Precisely because they are not traditional registries, they are able to offer clients greater flexibility and a more personalized level of service.

​

Through this integrated approach, ARG enables governments to strengthen regulatory oversight, build internationally recognized aviation platforms, and establish long-term jurisdictional credibility within the global aviation community.

​

ARG also supports civil aviation authorities in addressing complex regulatory and safety oversight matters that require timely action, technical proficiency, and sound regulatory judgment. Its professionals bring extensive experience in supporting authorities as they meet their international obligations and navigate high-stakes operational and regulatory challenges.

​

The ARG team includes former senior regulators, technical specialists, and advisors with experience across organizations including ICAO, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), and other respected civil aviation authorities around the world.
