EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order in Council amends the Air Navigation Order 2005 so as to enable the Secretary of State to direct an operator of an aircraft to make data relating to passengers and crew available electronically to authorities in a country outside the European Economic Area to which the aircraft is being flown. (Article 2, inserting a new article 141A into the Air Navigation Order 2005.)
Failure without reasonable excuse to comply with a direction will be an offence and will render the operator liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. (Articles 147(2) and 148(5) of the ANO 2005; and Part A of Schedule 14 to the ANO 2005 as amended by Article 2(4) of this Order in Council.)
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced as it is considered that the Order will have a negligible impact on the costs or savings of businesses, charities or the voluntary sector.
