Subsection (2) applies where for a period—

a

a person (“P”) is the operator of an airport area (“area A”) that is a dominant area or part of a dominant area,

b

area A is located at a dominant airport, and

c

P does not have a licence in respect of area A.

2

The persons mentioned in subsection (3) may not require a person to pay a relevant charge in respect of airport operation services that are provided during that period in—

a

area A, or

b

any other area that forms part of the same airport and in respect of which P is the operator and does not have a licence.

3

Those persons are—

a

P,

b

a person who is connected to P,

c

a person to whom P or a person connected to P has assigned the right to require payment of the charge, and

d

a person acting on behalf of a person within paragraph (a), (b) or (c).

4

If a person requires payment of charges in contravention of subsection (2)—

a

the charge is not recoverable by the person, and

b

if paid, the charge is recoverable from the person.

5

A charge is not irrecoverable under subsection (4)(a) or recoverable under subsection (4)(b) by reason of—

a

the invalidity of a market power determination (and the consequent continuation in effect of a previous market power determination), or

b

the invalidity of an operator determination,

if it is a charge in respect of services provided before invalidity is finally determined in legal proceedings.

6

Subsection (5) applies—

a

whether or not the charge is required to be paid before the final determination of invalidity, and

b

whether or not the charge is paid before that determination.

7

The CAA may enforce subsection (2) in civil proceedings for an injunction or, in Scotland, an interdict.

8

In this section “relevant charge” means any charge other than—

a

a penalty payable by virtue of section 38C of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (breaches of noise control schemes),

b

a penalty payable by virtue of section 78A of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 (penalty schemes established by managers of aerodromes), or

c

a charge payable by virtue of section 73 of the Transport Act 2000 (charges for chargeable air services).

4Prohibition: exemption1

This section applies if a person who is the operator of an airport area (“area A”) on a day on which area A becomes a dominant area located at a dominant airport, or part of such an area, does not have a licence in respect of area A on that day.

2

For the purposes of section 3, the person is to be treated as having a licence in respect of area A during the preliminary period.

3

The preliminary period begins for area A on the day mentioned in subsection (1).

4

The preliminary period ends for area A when one of the following occurs—

a

a licence is granted to the person in respect of area A or an area that includes all of area A;

b

the CAA publishes a notice of its decision to refuse to grant a licence to the person in respect of area A;

c

the person ceases to be the operator of area A;

d

area A ceases to be a dominant area or part of a dominant area;

e

the airport at which area A is located ceases to be a dominant airport.

5

If subsection (4)(a), (b), (c) or (d) is satisfied in relation to a part of area A, the preliminary period ends for that part of the area.
