Who makes airport rules?

Airport rules, like those for lithium batteries, are set by national and international aviation authorities, such as the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These bodies create safety standards and guidelines that airports and airlines must follow to ensure passenger and crew safety.
