AIA Submission to ACC re Levies //
4 November 2005
Attached is the submission from AIA to ACC regarding Levies. AIA also
supported the Business NZ submission.
It is particularly pleasing to note that for all categories of aviation,
except ambulance services, it is proposed premiums reduce or remain unchanged.
This is indicative of the excellent an on-going improvement in industry
wide accident rates. The exception is the proposed increase of 24%
for air ambulance services. We have objected to the change and propose
a category of Scheduled domestic as these operations are similar in characteristic
and present the same risk.
The balance of our submission is consistent with our submissions over
the past two years however we are beginning to make some progress in terms
of aviation being recognised as a stand alone activity under the
broad Transport classification as opposed to being driven by risk premiums
for the likes of agriculture and ground based ambulance services.
We have request to have the evidence placed before the Association to
justify the proposed increase in premiums for the air ambulance group.

Comment and Advice
Rule Part 115 Adventure Aviation // 2 September 2005
Recently AIA responded to the Directors invitation to comment on proposed
Rule Part 115. In that response we articulated our opposition to the proposed
coverage of commercial air transport operations under the proposed Rule
change. It has recently come to our attention that the CAA is merely acting
upon a directive of the CAA Board on this matter and we now wish to raise
some issues of material concern to the Association as the advocate for commercial
air transport operations. A further letter to CAA is attached for your consideration.
We would like to get this away in approximately a week's time. if you wish
to comment in support or in opposition please contact Irene.King@aia.org.nz.
