Aircraft and Shipping

Abstract

The core power to impose aircraft sanctions is found in section 1(5)(d) of the 2018 Act. Aircraft caught by the 2018 Act include drones and space-ships, but they must be civilian not military. Section 6(9) refers. Foreign police helicopters and aircraft could be subject to sanctions. Further, there is a broad definition of the geography of the UK for the purposes of this part of the Act, to include its territorial sea (section 6(8)).
