OFFENCES AGAINST THE SAFETY OF AIRCRAFT, ETC.

Hijacking

1.-(1) A person on board an aircraft in flight who unlawfully, by the use of force or by threats of any kind, seizes the aircraft or exercises control of it commits the offence of hijacking, whatever his nationality, whatever the State in which the aircraft is registered and whether the aircraft is in [Jersey] or elsewhere, but subject to subsection (2) below.

(2) If –

(a) the aircraft is used in military, customs or police service, or

(b) both the place of take-off and the place of landing are in the territory of the State in which the aircraft is registered,

subsection (1) above shall not apply unless –

(i) the person seizing or exercising control of the aircraft is a United Kingdom national; or

(ii) his act is committed in [Jersey]; or

(iii) the aircraft is registered in the United Kingdom or is used in the military or customs service of the United Kingdom [or Jersey] or in the service of any police force in the United Kingdom [or Jersey].

(3) A person who commits the offence of hijacking shall be liable * * * to imprisonment for life.

(4) If the Secretary of State by order made by statutory instrument declares –

(a) that any two or more States named in the order have established an organisation or agency which operates aircraft; and

(b) that one of those States has been designated as exercising, for aircraft so operated, the powers of the State of registration,

the State declared under paragraph (b) of this subsection shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to be the State in which any aircraft so operated is registered; but in relation to such an aircraft subsection (2)(b) above shall have effect as if it referred to the territory of any one of the States named in the order. [An order made under this subsection as it applies in the United Kingdom shall have effect in Jersey as it has effect in the United Kingdom].

(5) For the purposes of this section the territorial waters of any State shall be treated as part of its territory.

Destroying, damaging or endangering safety of aircraft

2.-(1) It shall, subject to subsection (4) below, be an offence for any person unlawfully and intentionally –

(b) to commit on board an aircraft in flight any act of violence which is likely to endanger the safety of the aircraft.

(2) It shall also, subject to subsection (4) below, be an offence for any person unlawfully and intentionally to place, or cause to be placed, on an aircraft in service any device or substance which is likely to destroy the aircraft, or is likely so to damage it as to render it incapable of flight or as to be likely to endanger its safety in flight; but nothing in this subsection shall be construed as limiting the circumstances in which the commission of any act –

(b) may constitute attempting or conspiring to commit, or aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring, or being art and part in, the commission of such an offence.

(5) A person who commits an offence under this section shall be liable * * * to imprisonment for life.
