Objectives

Airport Consultative Committees are required to be appointed by the Civil Aviation Act 1982 in order to provide adequate facilities for consultation with users of airports, local authorities and local organisations on any matter concerning the management or administration of airports which affects their interest.

The consultation arrangements are seen as a means of permitting the efficient operation of an airfield while moderating its impact on local communities, keeping people informed of issues affecting them and providing an opportunity to reconcile any difficulties which arise.
