Corporation status for Civil Aviation division?
PA Auckland The Director of Civil Aviation, Air Commodore Stuart Mclntyre, says his division may become a company or a corporation. He had a paper on his desk suggesting options for the division’s future.
One option under study, he has said, was turning the division into a corporation such as the Railways or Shipping corporations. The division is part of the Ministry of Transport. “If you are getting into a user-pays situation a corporation or company is the sensible way to go about it,” said Air Commodore Mclntyre.
A former Deputy Director of Civil Aviation, Mr Tom Pike, has said that the division did not fit within the Ministry and that the morale of career aviation people suffered badly from constant changes of senior staff. He said the division’s regulatory function should remain within the Public Service, but such services as air traffic control, communications, navigational aids and' airport planning could be under a corporation.
The Air Traffic Control Association has said “privatising” the division would lead to greater efficiency.
