The Aerodromes (Designation)(Detention and Sale of Aircraft)(England and Wales) Order 2009
Section 88 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 confers upon the person owning or managing an aerodrome to which the section applies a power to detain and sell aircraft in certain circumstances where airport charges have not been paid. Section 88(10) of the Act provides that the section applies to any aerodrome owned or managed by any government department or a local authority and to any other aerodrome designated for the purposes of the section by an order made by the Secretary of State. This Order consolidates the designation orders made previously by the Secretary of State as regards aerodromes in England and Wales and also designates Bristol (Filton), Carlisle, Doncaster/Sheffield, Farnborough, Manston, Oxford and Wolverhampton as aerodromes to which section 88 applies. The Order leaves unaffected earlier orders in so far as they relate to the designation of aerodromes located in Scotland.
