You could also call this:

"The government's aviation organisation, the Civil Aviation Authority, still exists and must follow rules."

The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand still exists. You know it as the CAA, which is a Crown entity, this means it is an organisation that belongs to the government. The CAA follows the rules of the Crown Entities Act 2004 unless this Act says otherwise.

The Crown Entities Act 2004 applies to the CAA, this Act has rules that the CAA must follow. You can find these rules in the Crown Entities Act 2004. This helps the CAA work properly and make good decisions.
