in contravention of any provision made by or under this Law insofar as relates to roadways in an airport, or in contravention of the Traffic Law (2005 Revision);
in such a position, in such condition or in such circumstances as to cause obstruction to other persons using the airport or as to be likely to cause danger to such persons; or
in such position, in such condition or in such circumstances as to appear to have been abandoned, and for the safe custody of vehicles removed and any goods which they contain at the time of such removal and for the charges to be imposed for the removal and safe custody of such vehicles or goods;

make provision for the regulation of commercial transactions (including trading) in or upon any premises the property of the Authority; and
make provision in relation to any other matter appearing to the Governor to be necessary or expedient for the purpose of giving due effect to this Law.
Regulations made under this section in relation to the use of roadways in an airport shall take effect notwithstanding that the roadways are subject to the Traffic Law (2005 Revision) and regulations made thereunder.
Subject to subsection (4), where by virtue of any provision made by or under this Law or the Traffic Law (2005 Revision) a vehicle has been, or could at any time be removed from a place in an airport the Authority may, if it appears to it that the vehicle had been abandoned, sell or otherwise dispose of it and its contents (if any) and —
apply the proceeds of any such sale in or towards satisfaction of any costs incurred by the Authority in connection with the disposal thereof or any charge or payment to which the Authority is entitled as regards the vehicle or contents under any provision made by or under this section, so, however, that the Authority, in its discretion, may waive, in whole or in part, the amount of such costs, charge or payment;
recoup from the owner or person in charge of the vehicle any costs mentioned in paragraph (a) insofar as they are not satisfied by virtue of that paragraph;
dispose of, with the approval of the Financial Secretary, any sum received by the Authority on a sale of the vehicle, after deducting any sum applied by virtue of paragraph (a).
A power of disposal conferred by subsection (3) shall not be exercisable in the case of a vehicle unless there has been taken by the Authority such steps (including provision for publication) and there has elapsed such period (not being less than six weeks) beginning with the taking of the first of such steps as may be prescribed by the Minister by order, being steps and a period whose respective taking and lapse shall, in the opinion of the Minister, together suffice for securing adequate opportunity for enabling the vehicle to be claimed.
Different provisions may be made under subsection (4) with respect to vehicles of different classes or descriptions or with respect to vehicles of the same class or description in different circumstances.
Any regulation made under this Law may provide for the imposition of a fine of five thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six months for any contravention of, or failure to comply with, such regulation.
