The United Kingdom’s Statutory Instrument 2010 No. 575: The Policing of Aerodromes (Belfast International Airport) Order 2010 was made on 2 March 2010, laid before Parliament on 8 March 2010, and comes into force on 1 April 2010. According to the Explanatory Memorandum the purpose of the act is:

The Policing and Crime Act 2009 amends Part 3 of the Aviation Security Act 1982 to impose requirements on “relevant aerodromes” in relation to police services agreements. The purpose of this Order (“the Exemption Order”) is to exempt Belfast International Airport from being a “relevant aerodrome” so that the provisions in Part 3 (as amended) in relation to police services agreements will not apply to the Airport. This has the effect of preserving the current policing arrangements at Belfast International Airport.
