Regulation 2 Interpretation

In these Regulations—

• “the 2009 Regulations” means the Carbon Accounting Regulations 2009^f1;

• “aerodrome” has the same meaning as in article 4(4) of the Climate Change Act 2008 (2020 Target, Credit Limit and Definitions) Order 2009^f2;

• “the domestic aviation cap” means the figure produced as a result of carrying out the calculation set out in paragraph 2 of the Schedule to these Regulations;

• “domestic aviation emissions” means the emissions of carbon dioxide arising from any aircraft during taking off, flying and landing when the aerodrome from which the aircraft takes off and the aerodrome at which the aircraft next lands are both located in the United Kingdom.

In calculating domestic aviation emissions and the domestic aviation cap, the Secretary of State must use such data about aviation emissions as appear to the Secretary of State to be the best available data.
