Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends section 77 of the Transport Act 2000 (chargeable air services) to extend the meaning of “chargeable air services”.
The effect of the amendments is that air traffic services which are provided by the owner or manager of an aerodrome or by his employee are chargeable air services if—
they are services for which Eurocontrol is to collect charges under the multilateral agreement relating to route charges signed at Brussels on 12th February 1981; and
they are provided under contract or other arrangement made by the owner or manager and the Civil Aviation Authority where, in making that contract or other arrangement, the Civil Aviation Authority is acting in the performance of functions with regard to air navigation which it is directed to perform pursuant to section 66(1) of the Act.
