UK Civil Aviation Regulations

These are published by the CAA on our UK Regulations pages. EU Regulations and EASA Access Guides published by EASA no longer apply in the UK. Our website and publications are being reviewed to update all references. Any references to EU law and EASA Access guides should be disregarded and where applicable the equivalent UK versions referred to instead.



Air Transport Licences are similar in their scope and their effect to Route Licences, but they are granted to air carriers which are either registered or based in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, both of which are outside the EU. These companies are unable to hold Operating Licences and are therefore also excluded from holding Route Licences, which may only be granted to holders of Operating Licences. Air carriers in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man which operate UK registered aircraft are therefore required to hold Air Transport Licences.
