✨ Air Services Licensing Orders




(f) Nothing in this section shall apply to helicopters.
(g) Licences current at the date of this order will be
amended in accordance with the above procedure
on 1 July 1969. All operators affected are required
to submit to the Authority within 30 days of the
date of this order notification of such details of
their authorised fleet as will enable the Authority
to establish the category of the licence and the
maximum fleet capacity applicable to it.

  1. Boundaries:
    (a) As from the date of this order, where any boundary
    of the area authorised for an aerial topdressing
    service or an aerial liquid topdressing service passes
    through any part of a farming property, the licensee
    may enter into an agreement with the owner of
    such property for the carrying out of aerial top-
    dressing services or aerial liquid topdressing services
    on the whole or any part of that property provided
    a substantial part thereof is within the licensee's
    licensed area.
    (b) Where in any aerial topdressing licence or aerial liquid
    topdressing licence a boundary is defined inter alia,
    as being a line running from the mouth of a river
    or other waterway, such line shall be deemed to
    run from the northern side of the mouth of such
    river or other waterway unless the licence otherwise provides.
    (c) Any zone, or limitation of area, of operation which
    the Authority shall impose on an aerial topdressing
    service or on an aerial liquid topdressing service
    shall not apply to the release from aircraft during
    flight of poisonous agricultural chemicals for the
    purpose of destroying or repelling noxious animals.

  2. Insurance:
    (a) It shall be a condition of all aerial work service licences
    that the licence holder shall maintain during the
    currency of the licence:
    In respect of all aircraft a minimum insurance
    cover of $50,000 against all liability for third party
    personal injury or death, or for property damage
    in respect of any one accident.
    (b) Notwithstanding that the licence may authorise the
    carrying on of an aerial work service as from a
    specific date, such service shall not be commenced
    until there has been deposited with the Licensing
    Authority a certificate endorsed by the insurers of
    due insurance in accordance with the requirements
    in paragraph (a) herein.
    (c) No later than 4 p.m. on the due date for renewal
    of any such insurance, there shall be deposited with
    the Licensing Authority a certificate endorsed by
    the insurers of the due renewal or replacement of
    the insurance in accordance with the requirements
    in paragraph (b) herein. If the certificate is not
    so deposited within that time on that date the
    licence shall be deemed to be suspended until such
    certificate is deposited.

  3. Transfer of interest in licences:
    (i) Where:
    (a) The holder of a licence is an individual and by
    any means whatever his controlling interest in
    the business in respect of which the licence
    applies passes to any other person or persons; or
    (b) The holder of a licence is a company and by
    any means whatever the controlling interest in
    that company passes to any person or persons
    other than those named as shareholders or
    intending shareholders when the application for
    a licence was made
    then, in either such event, the licence shall be deemed to
    be suspended as from the date of such passing unless the
    prior approval of the Authority has been obtained, or unless
    and until full details of the transaction or proposed trans-
    action involving the passing of the controlling interest, as
    aforesaid, have been given to the Authority and its approval
    to such passing has been granted.
    (ii) Where by reason of transmission on death the pro-
    visions of subparagraph (i) herein would apply,
    the licence shall not be deemed to be suspended
    until after the expiration of 3 calendar months
    from the date of death.

This order shall come into effect on the 1st day of
December 1972.

Dated this 31st day of October 1972.
For and on behalf of the Air Services Licensing Authority:
J. H. O. TILLER, Chairman.

Order Prescribing Standard Terms and Conditions in Respect
of Licences for Air Transport Services

Pursuant to section 26A of the Air Services Licensing Act
1951, the Air Services Licensing Authority hereby orders that
the orders prescribing standard terms and conditions, dated
the 28th day of May 1969 and the 20th day of December
1971 and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the 29th
day of May 1969 and the 22nd day of December 1971 respectively, are hereby revoked and that the terms and con-
ditions set out hereunder be substituted therefor:

  1. Unless otherwise ordered by the Licensing Authority in
    respect of a particular licence, the following standard terms
    and the meaning thereof shall be applicable in all licences for
    air transport services in so far as they may apply to the type
    or types of such services as are authorised in the licence:

(a) "Scheduled service" means an air transport service
carried on between such fixed terminals or traffic
areas and by such route or routes and with or without
intermediate stopping places as are authorised and
in accordance with a timetable and, in respect of
passenger services only or of combined passenger and
freight services, for such fares for the carriage of
passengers as are authorised and published.

(b) "Non-scheduled service" means an air transport service
carried on between such fixed terminals or traffic
areas and by such route or routes and with or without
intermediate stopping places as are authorised and
in respect of which the licensee may determine from
time to time when or to what extent such service
shall be carried on.

(c) "Air charter service" means an air transport service
wherein the licensee hires out to a person or to a
group of persons, having a common interest in the
purposes of the hiring, the exclusive use of the
aircraft for a particular flight or series of flights and
one payment for such hire is made.

(d) "Air-taxi service" means an air transport service wherein
an aircraft is used for a particular flight or series of
flights and in respect of each such flight the licensee
charges to each passenger a fare on a per seat basis
or, as the case may be, to each consignor of freight
a charge for each separate item of freight carried.

(e) "Scenic flight or joy-ride" means an air transport service
involving a flight without intermediate stops from
and to a designated aerodrome, the primary purpose
of which is for sightseeing.

  1. Unless otherwise ordered by the Licensing Authority in
    respect of a particular licence, the following conditions shall
    be deemed to apply to each type of air transport service as is
    specified hereunder:

(a) Scheduled service:

(i) The licensee shall be under an obligation to operate
the service in accordance with the authorised and
published timetable unless for reasons of safety it is
inexpedient to do so or unless he is prevented by
circumstances beyond his control.

(ii) The licensee may at any time on any of the days
specified in the authorised timetable increase the
number of flights beyond what is stated in the
authorised timetable but he may not reduce the
number of such flights without the prior approval
of the Licensing Authority or unless authorised by
the terms of the licence to do so.

(b) Non-scheduled service:

(i) Where a non-scheduled passenger service is carried on
over the same or substantially the same route as
operated by a scheduled service the minimum fare
per passenger shall be 10 percent in excess of the
fare payable by a like passenger in the scheduled
service or by the lowest fare if there are more
than one such service; provided, however, that such
excess shall not apply if there is no scheduled
service operating during the same day or if the
full capacity on the scheduled service has been
taken or if in the course of such route the non-
scheduled service involves intermediate stops at
points or traffic areas not included in the scheduled
service.

(ii) If the licensee publishes a timetable of his proposed
services he shall indicate prominently therein that
such services may not be adhered to for reasons of
safety or unless sufficient business is offering and,
subject to the foregoing, the licensee shall take all
reasonable steps to ensure that the services pre-
scribed in such timetable are maintained.
