Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

This Order specifies George Best Belfast City Airport as an international airport.

Article 41 of the Licensing (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 prohibits the sale, purchase, consumption or taking away of intoxicating liquor outside permitted hours. That prohibition does not apply to licensed premises within an examination station (approved under section 22 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979) at an airport specified as an international airport under Article 53(1) of that Order.
