Final advice on 1991 Traffic Distribution Rules

The CAA published today its final advice to the Secretary of State (SoS) in relation to the Traffic Distribution Rules 1991. Its advice is that the SoS should revoke these rules. It will now be for the SoS to consider this advice and decide if the rules are retained, amended or revoked.

Under the rules whole plane cargo services, or general or business aviation services, cannot be operated at Heathrow or Gatwick airports during periods of peak congestion without permission from the airport operator.
