GM1 Article 3(1b) Definitions

AERODROME OPERATOR PROVIDING FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2025/20

(a)An aerodrome operator may provide certain centralised infrastructure or equipment for the provision of GH services, such as centralised baggage sorting infrastructure, deicing facilities and PBBs.

(b)When the aerodrome operator provides such equipment or facilities but its personnel are not involved in their operation, that aerodrome operator does not fall within the scope of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/20. The aerodrome operator providing training on the operation of the facilities and infrastructure provided to the GH organisations is not considered a GH organisation and is not required to declare itself as such in accordance with the Regulation.

(c)When the aerodrome operator’s own personnel are also involved in the operation of the facilities or infrastructure, that operator is considered a GH organisation and shall comply with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/20.
