Aeronautical Information Management

New Zealand, as a contracting State to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, is required under ICAO Annex 15 to—

  1. provide an Aeronautical Information Service (AIS); or
  2. agree with one or more Contracting State(s) for the provision of a joint service; or
  3. delegate the authority for the provision of the service to a non-government agency, provided the Standards and Recommended Practices of Annex 15 are adequately met.

The purpose of AIS is to ensure the flow of information necessary for safe and efficient air navigation, both domestically and internationally. International standards and recommended practices for AIS are determined by ICAO in Annex 15.

Civil Aviation Rule Part 175 prescribes rules governing the certification and operation of organisations providing an aeronautical information service for New Zealand on behalf of the Authority; and the requirements for Aeronautical Information Publication New Zealand, Aeronautical Information Circulars and NOTAMs.

Aeropath, a subsidiary of Airways International, is the current provider of AIS in New Zealand.
