The Civil Aviation Act 2012 transferred the responsibility for regulating aviation security from the Department for Transport to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) with effect from 1 April 2014. The purpose of this Charges Consultation is to seek initial comment on the CAA’s draft proposed mechanisms by which the additional cost of the new aviation security function will be recovered.
The consultation will start on Friday 2 August 2013 and end on Friday 13 September 2013.
The consultation documents can be found here.
Following conclusion of the consultation, responses will be collated and analysed before the CAA compiles its final proposals. A summary of representations received will be posted on the CAA web site during October 2013. There will be a further opportunity to comment on the final pricing proposals which will be contained within the annual CAA 2014/15 Charges Consultation that will be launched on 21 November 2013, closing on 13 February 2014.
Comments should be returned using the online submissions form.
