Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

When you look at the law about taking firearms or explosives on to aircraft, you will see some changes. The law now includes a new area called a landside security area, as well as a sterile area and a security enhanced area. You can find more information about this in section 11 of the law.

The changes are in a few different parts of the law, including section 11(1A) and section 11(1B)(b). These parts of the law now mention a landside security area, as well as a sterile area. This means that the rules about taking firearms or explosives into these areas are now clearer.
