  We list certain airport operators on WhatDoTheyKnow because we think access to information legislation should apply to them. The Environmental Information Regulations, which give a right of access to environmental information, apply to private companies which have been given special legal powers. Airport operators are often given special powers, including those relating to the creation of byelaws and the regulation of drone flights. Airport operators may also often have special levels of influence, for example in relation to input to the planning process.
