My understanding is that the airport polices itself and fines airlines that arrive after the curfew. The same would apply if the nighttime movements limits are exceeded at the end of whatever period is used.* I guess Stobart fine themselves in the latter case.
Given the money raised from fines is periodically handed over to local good causes, with the blessing of the local authority, I cannot believe we are talking big bucks here. Perhaps Stobart are more more than happy to cough up and the arrangement will continue until and unless the council cries foul.
