72L: General Manager of Aviation Security Service

You could also call this:

“The airport security boss: who they are and what they do”

The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand will choose someone to be the General Manager of the Aviation Security Service. This person will also be an aviation security officer.

The General Manager will have special jobs and powers related to aviation security. These jobs and powers come from this law, other rules, and things that the Authority and the Director allow the General Manager to do.

When the General Manager is doing their job, they need to make decisions on their own. They don’t have to do what the Minister, the Authority, or the Director tells them to do for each case they work on. This includes when they’re dealing with aviation security rules and making sure people follow them.
