Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Licensing of Air Carriers Regulations 1992.

They amend the definition of the expression “the Council Regulation” in regulation 2(1) so as to take into account the coming into force of Council Decision 93/453/EEC concerning the amendment of the Agreement between the European Economic Community, the Kingdom of Norway and the Kingdom of Sweden on civil aviation.(regulation 2(a)).

Amendments to the same effect are also made to sections 17(1)(c), 64(2)(d), 69A(8) and 84(1)(a) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and regulation 3(1) of the Civil Aviation Authority Regulations 1991.(regulations 3 and 4).

The Regulations also provide for operating licences to remain valid notwithstanding the terms of regulation 18(1) of the principal regulations where the air carrier uses an aircraft which is exempted from registration in the UK register by article 8(2)(b) of Council Regulation 2407/92 on licensing of air carriers(1).(regulation 2(b)).
