Under section 19A(1) of the Transport Act 2000 (“the Act”), an appeal lies to the Competition and Markets Authority against a decision by the Civil Aviation Authority under section 11(1) of the Act to modify a licence condition, in a licence to provide air traffic services.

Section 19A(2) of the Act sets out the persons who may bring such appeals. These include an owner or manager of a prescribed aerodrome whose interests are materially affected by the decision.

“Prescribed aerodrome” is defined in section 19A(3) as an aerodrome of a description prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. These Regulations prescribe a description of aerodromes for the purposes of section 19A(3).

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.

An Explanatory Memorandum has been published alongside these Regulations on the UK legislation website at www.legislation.gov.uk.
