# The Air Traffic Services (Exemption) Order 2019, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 3 of the Transport Act 2000 (c. 38) makes it an offence for a person to provide air traffic services in respect of a managed area without an authorisation to do so by virtue of either an exemption granted under section 4 or a licence granted under section 5. See section 40(3) for the definition of “managed areas” and section 98 setting out the general interpretation of “air traffic services”.
Article 3 of this Order authorises the provision of air traffic services, other than area control services provided from an area control centre. See Schedule 1 to the Air Navigation Order 2016 for the definitions of “area control service” and “area control centre”. The authorisation does not extend to services provided by the holder of a licence granted under section 5. The authorisation will expire at the end of 31st December 2029. Article 5 revokes the Air Traffic Services (Exemption) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/425), which contained a similar exemption until 31st December 2019.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this order as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside this instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
