Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

The licensing authority can decide if a series of flights between New Zealand and another country is a scheduled international air service. When making this decision, the authority considers things like what the flights are actually for and how often they happen. You can think of the licensing authority as the person or group who is in charge of making decisions about flight licences, and they can be different depending on the situation, as explained in section 178.
