Airports - Airport operators

236: Consultation

You could also call this:

"Talking to important groups before making new airport rules"

When an airport operator wants to make a new rule, they must follow certain steps. They have to talk to some important groups, like the Civil Aviation Authority, the Secretary, and the Police, before they can make the new rule. You can find out more about how local authorities make rules in section 156 of the Local Government Act 2002.

The airport operator must also talk to any government agencies that work at the airport and might be affected by the new rule. They have to give these groups notice of their plan to make a new rule and give them time to comment on it.

The airport operator has to give notice in writing to all the groups they need to talk to, and they have to say how long those groups have to make comments on the plan.
