181: Grant of licence

You could also call this:

"Getting a licence to fly: what you need to know"

When you apply for a licence, the licensing authority considers your application according to what is said in section 180. They can then decide to refuse your application or grant it, either fully or partly. They might grant it without any conditions or with conditions they think are relevant.

The licensing authority can create the licence in any form they think is suitable. When they grant a scheduled international air service licence, they can specify which countries or territories you can serve, the route you must follow, and the maximum capacity you can provide. They can also tell you when you must start the service.

If the licensing authority grants you a licence, the Ministry will publish a notice in the Gazette to let everyone know that your licence has been granted.
