FAQ Answer
Can an aerodrome be exempted from the scope?
The Basic Regulation (EC 216/2008) does allow the CAA to exempt an aerodrome from the EASA rules if that aerodrome:
a) handles no more than 10,000 passengers per year, and
b) handles no more than 850 movements related to cargo operations per year.
The UK CAA is considering how and when it may decide to apply this exemption.
