Pursuant to section 87J (3) of the Civil Aviation Act
1990, and section 41 (1) of the State Sector Act 1988, and a delegation from the Secretary for Transport dated 29 March 2000, I give notice that, having received an application from Air New Zealand Limited, the Minister of Transport intends to consider varying the Scheduled International Air Service Licence held by that airline in order that it may:
(a) for code-share services, operate over the route "Points in New Zealand, optionally via any point/s (excluding Mainland China and Taiwan), to Hong Kong, and optionally beyond to any point/s (excluding Mainland China and Taiwan)";
(b) for own-aircraft services, operate capacity of up to
7 frequencies per week with any aircraft type; and
(c) for code-share services (where Air New Zealand is the marketing carrier), offer such capacity as is filed with and acknowledged by the Secretary for Transport, with the note that fifth freedom and stopover traffic rights may not be exercised between Hong Kong and either the intermediate or beyond points.
Any person or organisation wishing to make representations to the Minister of Transport relating to this application must forward those representations in writing to reach me at the Ministry of Transport, P.O. Box 3175, Wellington, on or before 14 March 2002.
Signed at Wellington this 19th day of February 2002.
JOHN MACILREE, Principal Adviser, Infrastructure and Services, Ministry of Transport.
