91M: Power to exclude aircraft in use for military purposes

You could also call this:

"Rules can be changed for planes used by the military"

The Governor-General can make an order that applies or stops applying to New Zealand or another country. This order is about how certain rules for air travel work.

If the order applies to a country, special rules come into effect. These rules say that if a country's military books an entire aircraft for its use, certain air travel agreements don't apply. This is only for aircraft registered in that country and when they're carrying people, cargo, or baggage for the military.

When the Governor-General makes this kind of order, it's called secondary legislation. This means it has to follow special rules about how it's published, which you can find in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
