410: Regulations relating to information disclosure by aviation participants

You could also call this:

"Rules about what information airlines and airports must share with the public"

The Governor-General can make rules about what information aviation participants must share. You might need to know that aviation participants can include airlines or airports. These rules can require aviation participants to share information about their activities, such as the number of passengers they carry or how often their flights are on time.

The rules can also require aviation participants to share information about the rights of passengers, which are explained in Part 8. Aviation participants might need to share information about airfare trends or the number of take-offs and landings they make.

The Governor-General can make rules about who gets to see this information, such as the Secretary, the CAA, or the public. The rules can also say how the information must be shared.

You have the right to privacy, and the rules cannot require aviation participants to share information that would breach the information privacy principles in section 22 of the Privacy Act 2020. The rules made under this section are secondary legislation, which means they have to follow certain publication requirements, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
