1
Where—
a
an aeroplane operator changes its ICAO Designator, Air Operator Certificate or equivalent, or place of its registered office, and is subsequently attributed to a new State in accordance with paragraph 1.2 of Chapter 1, Part II, Volume IV of Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention, but
b
that aeroplane operator is not establishing a new entity or a subsidiary,
this new State must become the State to which the aeroplane operator fulfils its requirements under Volume IV of Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention from the start of the next compliance period.
2
The aeroplane operator must notify the Regulator of any change described in paragraph (1) within 3 months of the change taking effect.

An aeroplane operator with a wholly owned subsidiary aeroplane operator that has its registered office in the United Kingdom may be treated as a single consolidated aeroplane operator liable for compliance with the requirements of Volume IV of Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention, subject to the approval of the Regulator. Evidence must be provided in the aeroplane operator’s Emissions Monitoring Plan to demonstrate that the subsidiary aeroplane operator is wholly owned.
