EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Economic Regulation of Airports (Designation) Order 1986.
Part 4 of the Airports Act 1986 provides that certain airports, whose annual turnover is above £1million (or such other sum as may be specified), shall be subject to economic regulation. At such an airport no airport charges may be levied except by the airport operator to whom permission to do so has been granted by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Section 40 of the Airports Act 1986 also provides that where an airport subject to economic regulation is designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of that section certain conditions must be imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority. The conditions relate to the disclosure of certain information in the accounts of the airport operator and to the maximum amounts of airport charges that may be levied by that airport operator during successive five-year periods.
The Economic Regulation of Airports (Designation) Order 1986 designated Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester International Airport and Stansted for the purposes of section 40. This Order de-designates Manchester International Airport on 1st April 2009, the date immediately after the end of the current five-year period.
