87K: Transfer of scheduled international air service licence

You could also call this:

“Rules for giving your international air service licence to someone else”

You can transfer a scheduled international air service licence to someone else if you follow these rules:

You need to ask for permission to transfer your licence at least 3 months before you want to do it. You do this by sending your request to the Secretary.

The Secretary will then tell everyone about your request by putting a notice in the Gazette. This is a special government newspaper.

The notice will say that the Minister is thinking about your request to transfer the licence. It will also say that people have at least 21 days to write to the Minister if they have something to say about it.

When the Minister is deciding whether to let you transfer your licence, they will think about all the same things they would if you were asking for a new licence.

Remember, transferring your licence is a big deal, so the Minister wants to make sure it’s done properly.
