These Regulations make provision for implementing the Community obligations of the United Kingdom provided for in Council Regulation 2408/92 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes and matters arising out of or related thereto. The Secretary of State is specified as the competent authority for the purposes of the Council Regulation (regulation 3). Permission to operate intra-Community air routes is conferred on Community air carriers (regulation 4). The foregoing permission is expressed not to apply in a number of instances including in particular cabotage routes and routes subject to a public service obligation limited to one carrier (regulation 5). Operating on routes without permission or in breach of traffic distribution rules is made an offence as is operating in breach of rules, conditions, limitations or refusals that the Council Regulation permits may apply (regulations 6 to 8). Failing to give, or giving false, information also becomes an offence (regulation 9). Provision is made for review of the decisions of the Secretary of State relating to public service obligations (regulation 13). Article 88 of the Air Navigation Order 1989 is amended to disapply the requirement for a permit in cases where a permission to operate exists by virtue of the Council Regulation (regulation 14).

What Parliament said about it
Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.
How Parliament handled it
Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
