EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Aerodromes (Designation) (Detention and Sale of Aircraft) (England and Wales) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/2350) (“the principal Order”) by inserting a reference to Cotswold into Schedule 1.

Section 88 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (c.16) (“the Act”) confers upon the person owning or managing an aerodrome to which the section applies a power to detain and sell aircraft in certain circumstances where airport charges have not been paid. Section 88(10) of the Act provides that the section applies to any aerodrome owned or managed by any government department or a local authority and to any other aerodrome designated for the purpose of the section by an order made by the Secretary of State.

The inclusion of Cotswold in Schedule 1 to the principal Order designates Cotswold Airport as an aerodrome to which section 88 applies.

An Impact Assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as there are no costs or benefits to business.
