The Airports (Groundhandling) Regulations 1997

Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally made).

Centralised infrastructures

14.—(1) On an application from the managing body of an airport, the CAA may determine to reserve for that managing body or for another person the management of the centralised infrastructures used for the supply of groundhandling services whose complexity, cost or environmental impact does not allow of division or duplication, such as baggage sorting, de-icing, water purification and fuel-distribution systems.

(2) Where the management of a centralised infrastructure has been reserved by the CAA pursuant to paragraph (1) above, a supplier of groundhandling services or a self-handling airport user at that airport shall not use any apparatus, equipment, system or other thing for the supply of the groundhandling services concerned as an alternative to that centralised infrastructure.

(3) The person for whom the management of a centralised infrastructure has been reserved pursuant to paragraph (1) above shall ensure that the management of that infrastructure is transparent, objective and non-discriminatory and, in particular, that it does not hinder the access of suppliers of groundhandling services or self-handling airport users within the limits provided for in these Regulations.

(4) Where an application is made pursuant to paragraph (1) above, the provisions of Schedule 1 to these Regulations, in so far as they relate to such applications, shall apply.
