You need to think that your agreement with them might break certain rules, such as section 27 or section 30 of the Commerce Act 1986.

You have to make your application in the way the Minister says. The Minister will tell you how to apply. Your application is also subject to section 204.

When you apply, you might be planning to work together with other companies on international flights. You might want to make a contract or arrangement with them. You need to follow the rules when you make your application.
