87I: Renewal of scheduled international air service licence

You could also call this:

“How to ask for a new licence to keep running international flights on a schedule”

You can ask the Minister to renew your scheduled international air service licence. This licence lets you run international flights on a regular schedule.

If you want to renew your licence, you need to ask at least 3 months before it runs out. You do this by sending your request to the Secretary.

When you apply to renew your licence, the Minister will look at your application just like they would if you were asking for a new licence.

The Secretary will put a notice in the Gazette to say that the Minister is thinking about renewing your licence. This notice will say when people can send in their thoughts about your application. They will have at least 21 days to do this.

Remember, you don’t automatically get your licence renewed. The Minister will think about all the same things they would for a new licence application.

If the Minister decides to renew your licence, it will start from the day your old one ends. The Minister can choose how long the new licence will last.
