International air services licensing - Scheduled international air service licences for New Zealand international airlines

87H: Duration of scheduled international air service licence

You could also call this:

“How long an airline can fly between New Zealand and other countries”

You need to know about a licence for airlines that fly between New Zealand and other countries. The Minister decides how long this licence lasts. They choose a date for it to start, and they decide how long it should last based on what they think is right for that airline.

If an airline wants to keep their licence going for longer, they can ask to renew it. They do this by applying before the licence runs out. If the Minister hasn’t made a decision by the time the licence is supposed to end, the licence will keep working until a decision is made. But the Minister can say no to this if they want to.
