  • (1) Where differential airport charges are not for the time being fixed in respect of the airport concerned, operators shall be liable to pay, in respect of each landing at a New Zealand airport of a scheduled or non-scheduled international flight, airport charges calculated at the rate of $7.60 per 1 000 kg gross weight of the aircraft.

    (2) Where an aircraft has more than 1 maximum take-off weight specified in the airworthiness certificate issued in respect of that aircraft, the landing charge payable by an international operator for any aircraft operated by the operator and landing in New Zealand shall be calculated according to the maximum take-off weight that the aircraft is operating under for that landing.

    (3) If on the subsequent take-off of that aircraft it operates under a maximum take-off weight different from that operated under the previous landing, then the landing charge payable in respect of that subsequent take-off shall be calculated according to the heavier of those 2 maximum take-off weights.
