14: Objectives of Minister

You could also call this:

“The Minister's job is to make sure planes and airports work well with other transport in New Zealand”

The Minister’s job is to make civil aviation work well with the rest of New Zealand’s transport system. You should know that the Minister has two main goals:

First, the Minister needs to do their job in a way that helps create a transport system that works well together, is safe, responds to people’s needs, and doesn’t harm the environment.

Second, the Minister has to make sure that New Zealand follows the rules it has agreed to with other countries about civil aviation. This means keeping promises New Zealand has made about how planes and airports should operate.
