This Order amends the Aviation Security and Piracy (Overseas Territories) Order 2000 (“the 2000 Order”) to further extend certain provisions of the Aviation Security Act 1982, with relevant adaptations and modifications, to the Territories specified in Schedule 1 to the 2000 Order. This Order amends the 2000 Order so as to extend the powers of the Governor (this includes the officer for the time being administering the government of any relevant Territory) in each of the relevant Territories to the effect that: aircraft operators may be directed to refrain from causing or permitting their aircraft to enter the Territories unless searches specified in the direction have taken place; aircraft operators may be directed to modify or alter their aircraft, or apparatus or equipment installed in the aircraft, for the purposes of aviation security; persons authorised by the Governor may detain aircraft for the purposes of aviation security; persons may be forcibly removed from the restricted zone or from an aircraft where they are present in either place without authorisation; a direction or other document may be served by (amongst other things) other electronic means. An impact assessment has not been prepared for this Order as no significant impact on individuals or businesses is foreseen.
