Made

27th October 2021

Coming into force-

30th October 2021

The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by Article 10aa and paragraph 3 of Article 13 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 of 18 January 1993 on common rules for the allocation of slots at United Kingdom airports(1).

In accordance with paragraph 1a of Article 13 of that Regulation, a draft of this instrument has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.

The Secretary of State considers that, as a result of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, there has been a reduction in the level of air traffic in a period compared to the corresponding period in a relevant previous year, and that the reduction is likely to persist.
