Regulation 2(3) amends the regulation 3 of the Information Regulations to specify the updated information to be provided before a booking is made and before check-in is completed.

Regulation 2(4) inserts a new regulation 3A into the Information Regulations requiring operators to provide the information 24 to 48 hours before an international passenger service is scheduled to depart.

Regulation 2(5), (6) and (7) makes consequential amendments, and regulation 2(8) substitutes the Schedule to the Information Regulations.
