The relevant sections of the Standard Terms will be amended to reflect these changes as follows:
- Table A of the Pricing Schedule will be amended to include the aerodrome and approach base and weight charges specific to Kapiti Coast.
- Table F of the Pricing Schedule will be amended to remove Paraparaumu from the “Domestic Unattended” list and include Paraparaumu in the “Domestic Attended” list.
- To update and ensure the Pricing Schedule conditions align appropriately with the Kapiti Coast situation (i.e. where aerodrome flight information services are provided but not aerodrome control services) conditions e(ii) and (iii) of Part A of the Pricing Schedule are to be deleted and replaced with:
“(ii) Aerodrome service charges will not apply at an unattended aerodrome. For the purposes of this clause, an aerodrome is deemed to be unattended if:
- neither aerodrome control services nor aerodrome flight information services are provided at the aerodrome; or
- aerodrome control services are provided at the aerodrome but it is outside the hours when such services are provided; or
- aerodrome flight information services are provided at the aerodrome but it is outside the hours when such services are provided.
(iii) Approach service charges vary depending upon the aerodrome of destination as set out in Table A (where rates are prescribed for aerodromes specified by name and for “Other Domestic Attended” and “Domestic Unattended” aerodromes). With regard to aerodromes for which specific approach base and weight charges have not been fixed under Table A (i.e. those charged at the “Other Domestic Attended” or “Domestic Unattended” rates):
- The aerodrome’s classification (e.g. as domestic attended or domestic unattended) shall be as set out in Table F.
- Notwithstanding an aerodrome’s normal classification as domestic attended, the Table A domestic unattended rate for approach service charges will apply at that aerodrome when it is deemed unattended pursuant to condition (e)(ii) above.”
