International air services licensing - Scheduled international air service licences for foreign international airlines

87O: Duration of scheduled international air service licence

You could also call this:

“How long an international airline's licence lasts and how to keep it going”

The law says that when you get a licence to run an international air service on a schedule, the licence starts working from the date written on it. The person in charge, called the Secretary, can decide how long the licence lasts. They might give it to you for a specific time, or they might let it last forever.

If you want to keep your licence going after it’s supposed to end, you can ask for it to be renewed. If you ask for this before your licence runs out, but no one has decided about it yet, your licence will keep working until someone makes a decision. However, the Secretary can choose to stop this from happening if they want to.
