This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 1 April 2016, amend regulation 20(1) of the Civil Aviation Charges Regulations (No 2) 1991 (the principal regulations). The amendments amend a critical date in regulation 20(1) and decrease the fee payable on or after that new date having the cumulative effect as follows:

• on or after 1 April 2014, but before 1 April 2016, an international operator must pay to the Civil Aviation Authority $11.98 for each passenger on a flight departing from New Zealand (other than the passengers listed in regulation 20(2)) for the purpose of funding the Aviation Security Service; and

• on or after 1 April 2016, an international operator must pay to the Civil Aviation Authority $10.58 for each passenger on a flight departing from New Zealand (other than the passengers listed in regulation 20(2)) for the purpose of funding the Aviation Security Service.

The amounts are inclusive of GST (see regulation 33 of the principal regulations).
