First alphanumeric aircraft registration marks out now
There's more than a Spring change in the air with the arrival of Australia's new alphanumeric aircraft registration marks.
The first release of 1500 new marks went live on 23 September 2022 and was necessary because the existing registration system had reached its limit.
Initially, the new marks will only start with an X or 8, for example VH-8AB, VH-X9B, VH-X22. Marks will not contain the numbers ‘0’ or ‘1’ to avoid conflict with these numbers and letters.
They also must contain a mix of alphanumeric characters – they cannot contain only numbers.
The full complement of marks will be made available over time.
