The Civil Aviation Act 2023 provides for greater transparency and consistency for authorising airline agreements.
The Ministry of Transport is developing documents about how we implement changes to authorising co-operative airlines agreement under the new Act (Part 6 subpart 2) that comes into force 5 April 2025.
The Ministry has documented a draft assessment framework and standard assessment requirements to enable:
consistent assessment by the Ministry of applications developed by airlines
consistent provision of information, data and analysis in applications developed by airlines
We want to hear your thoughts. We would value any feedback from an airlines, airports, and all other stakeholders who have an interest in the assessment of airline agreement authorisations.
The assessment framework will be complemented in due course with guidance on the application process for airlines.
Feedback on the document closes at 5pm, Monday 17 March 2025.
