Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

When you look at the law, you see that some words have special meanings. The law says that an approved system is a system that the chief executive has okayed for certain purposes, such as providing information or giving notice of decisions. You can find more about this in section 4 of the law.

The law also explains what a scheduled international service is. It means a series of flights or voyages that transport people, cargo, or mail between New Zealand and other countries, and are regular or frequent enough to be a systematic service. These flights or voyages must be open to the public, as you can read in section 4 of the law.
