Schedule 3: Joint venture aerodromes

You could also call this:

"Aerodromes run with others: rules about money and accounts"

The government has rules about money at aerodromes that are run together with other people. You can find these rules in the Civil Aviation Act 2023, specifically in section s 240. The Minister of Finance can let the aerodrome operator keep some of the government's money in their accounts instead of putting it in a government bank account.

The money that can be kept is what the government gets from the aerodrome's operations or from fees and charges. This money can be used for things related to the aerodrome, like running it or making it better, as long as the Minister and the Minister of Finance agree. The Minister can also ask for this money to be paid to the government if they want to.

If the aerodrome operator is working with the government, they can take out some of the money from their accounts, even if other rules say they can't. This money is what they get from running the aerodrome or from fees and charges. They can use this money for whatever they want, as long as they follow any other rules they have to pay money to someone else.
