[CASA]: Notice to International Airlines

[Owen]

New Regulations will come into effect from the 1st of September, 2012 for International Airlines operating into and out of Australia. The primary regulation is that international airlines wishing to conduct scheduled services will be required to apply for an International Airline Licence.​

International Airline Licence​

Any airline proposing to operate scheduled international air services over, into or out of Australian territory requires an International Airline Licence (IAL) before it can commence services. This includes cargo only operations. Airlines proposing to market seats and/or cargo capacity to and from Australia under code share arrangements with another airline also require an IAL. In these circumstances, an approved applicant will receive a limited licence which only authorises code sharing, provided that the services conducted on behalf of the applicant are operated in accordance with Civil Aviation Safety Authority and Office of Transport Security regulations. If the marketing airline in a code share arrangement wishes to commence operations with its own aircraft in the future, it will need to reapply for a full IAL. Airline applicants proposing to use wet or damp-leased aircraft to conduct scheduled international air services must provide the department with the following information: A declaration that they intend to use wet or damp-leased aircraft to conduct proposed services; Details of the provider of the aircraft for the proposed services; and Evidence that the wet-leased aircraft is compliant with Civil Aviation Safety Authority and Office of Transport Security regulations for the proposed services. Foreign airline applicants must demonstrate that they are designated by their country. This can be evidenced by submitting a copy of a relevant Third Party Note or where this cannot be located, by providing a declaration that the airline is appropriately designated, signed by a Senior Airline Official. Foreign airlines must also demonstrate that they meet the requirements of their country relating to incorporation as well as ownership and control and/or principal place of business and/or incorporation. Applicants are required to supply a copy of an insurance contract or certificate from an insurer evidencing that appropriate insurance is held by the applicant in relation to the following: Passenger liability (Carrier's Liability Insurance); Third party liability; Cargo and baggage liability; and Injury and loss as a result of active hostilities or civil unrest (War risk insurance). Applicants are required to prove they are compliant with Office of Transport Security regulations for the proposed services. Regulations by the Office of Transport Security within the Department of Home Affairs are in accordance with the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004 and related regulations. Before air services may commence, and in conjunction with the issue of an International Airline Licence, applicants are required to separately submit details of proposed timetables to the department. Timetable details should include the type of aircraft to be used for each scheduled international air service in accordance with regulations 14 and 29 of the Air Navigation Regulation. The application for an International Airline Licence can be found at the bottom of the page.

Additional Information for Foreign Operators​

In accordance with Section 26(1) of the Civil Aviation Act (1988), an aircraft arriving in Australian territory from a place outside Australian territory or; departing from Australian territory for a place outside Australian territory must not do so except with the permission of CASA. Carrier's Liability Insurance: Operators intending to carry passengers for reward or hire into, from or within Australian territory need to comply with the requirements of the Civil Aviation (Carrier's Liability) Act 1959. The Act requires carriers to hold insurance to ensure compensation will be paid in respect of death or personal injury suffered by passengers on aircraft. Third Party Liability Insurance: Under the Damage by Aircraft Act 1999, Australian law provides for strict and unlimited liability for compensating third parties on the ground suffering death, injury or damage from aircraft within the Commonwealth's jurisdiction. It is a commercial decision of airlines to decide what insurance cover should be held. The Australian Government will assess whether the cover is appropriate for the level of an airline's operations in Australian territory. Injury and loss as a result of active hostilities or civil unrest (War risk insurance): The amount of war risk insurance covering passengers, hull and third party damage on the ground is a commercial matter for the airline. The Australian Government will assess whether the cover is appropriate for the level of an airline's operations in Australian territory. Additional Landing Permission: Although a permission granted by CASA may allow an operator to land at specified airports, permission must also be obtained from the relevant airport authority (the aerodrome operator) for the use of movement areas, aprons and terminals of both destination and alternate aerodromes. Time slot clearances must also be obtained. This is particularly important for operations into Sydney (Kingsford Smith) International Airport, where a legislated slot scheme is in place. Time slot clearances can be obtained from Airport Coordination Australia. Border Control: Operators intending to operate a charter service to an airport other than Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth or Sydney, may need approval from Customs, Immigration, Health and Quarantine authorities. Please note that in most instances, operators are required to provide four weeks written notice. For further information contact the National Passenger Processing Committee. Non-Scheduled Flight Permission: As determined by the Civil Aviation Act (1988), a non-scheduled flight means a flight over or into Australian territory otherwise than under the authority of an International Airline Licence (IAL). In accordance with Section 25 of the Act, a foreign registered aircraft possessing the nationality of a Contracting State conducting a non-scheduled flight into Australian territory must not take on or discharge passengers, cargo or mail in Australian territory for reward except with the permission of CASA and in accordance with any conditions specified in the permission. Similarly, a foreign registered aircraft not possessing the nationality of a Contracting State shall not make a non-scheduled flight over or into Australian territory except with the permission of CASA and in accordance with the conditions specified in the permission. CASA will not consider a proposed operation unless first approved by the operator’s own State of Registry. Operators wishing to conduct more than eight non-scheduled flights in one 12 month period may be required by CASA to obtain a Foreign Aircraft Air Operator’s Certificate. Noise Regulations: There are Regulations affecting the operation of large marginally compliant (MCC3) jet aircraft in Australia. Non-scheduled operations by MCC3 aircraft are prohibited at: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, Newcastle (Williamtown), Essendon and Avalon airports. Applications for Non-Scheduled flights to these ports can only be assessed if a noise permission has been obtained from the Department of Infrastructure and Transport.
