Section 88 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 empowers the person owning or managing an aerodrome to which the section applies to detain and sell aircraft where default is made in the payment of airport charges. Section 88(10), as amended by the Airports Act 1986, provides that the section applies to (amongst others) any aerodrome designated for the purposes of the section by an order made by the Secretary of State. This Order designates Cranfield Airport as an aerodrome to which section 88 applies.
