Summary

Seeking views on proposed updates to the licensing framework for air traffic services.

This consultation ran from
9am on 22 September 2016 to 11:59pm on 20 October 2016

Consultation description

This consultation details proposals to modernise the regulatory framework for NERL Plc (a subsidiary of NATS). NERL provides air traffic management services in accordance with a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) licence. The purpose of modernising the framework is to ensure that the interests of passengers are best served by the licensing regime. The proposed changes would:

• amend the licence modification process to enable the CAA to make changes to the licence after consultation and give a right of appeal to affected parties

• give the CAA access to a wider range of enforcement tools, and allow NERL to appeal decisions to an appropriate body

• extend NERL’s minimum termination notice period from 10 years to either 15 or 20 years
