Details

This draft instrument amends The Air Navigation Order 2016 to update references to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation to reflect the repeal of this regulation and its replacement with Regulation (EU) 2018/1139.

The amendments are to update:

  • cross references in relation to areas such as aircraft categories and flexibility provisions
  • the definition of ‘the basic regulation’

The present draft instrument will ensure The Air Navigation Order 2016 operates as intended and accurately cites the current retained EU legislation.

The draft legislation was released via a written ministerial statement on 24 January 2022.
