These Regulations formally revoke the preceding statutory instrument—The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Cramlington, Newcastle) (Emergency) Regulations 2026—because the Secretary of State for Transport has determined that the exceptional circumstances requiring the emergency restriction on flying over the Cramlington and Newcastle area are over, thereby immediately lifting all associated flight limitations.
