38.—(1) Subject to this section, the Authority may modify the conditions of an airport licence. (2) Before making modifications to the conditions of an airport licence under this section, the Authority must give notice to the airport licensee —(a) stating that it proposes to make the modifications in the manner specified in the notice and the compensation payable for any loss or damage suffered or expense reasonably incurred as a direct result of the modification; and (b) specifying the time (being not less than 28 days from the date the notice is served on the licensee) within which written representations with respect to the proposed modifications may be made. (3) Upon receipt of any written representation mentioned in subsection (2), the Authority must consider the representation and may —(a) reject the representation; or (b) amend the proposed modifications or compensation payable in accordance with the representation, or otherwise, and, in either event, the Authority must thereupon issue a written direction to such airport licensee requiring that effect be given to the proposed modifications specified in the notice or to such modifications as subsequently amended by the Authority within a reasonable time. (4) Unless otherwise provided by this Act or the Minister, where the airport licensee concerned has appealed under section 55 to the Minister against any decision by the Authority under this section, the decision, direction or other thing appealed against must be complied with until the determination of the appeal. (5) If no written representation is received by the Authority within the time specified in subsection (2) or if any written representation made under that subsection is subsequently withdrawn, the Authority may immediately carry out the modifications specified in the notice given under that subsection.
