Objectives


Regulatory Impact Statement: Commerce Act Review - Airports

Hon Annette King, Minister of Transport and Hon Lianne Dalziel, Minister of Commerce
[ Last Updated 22 November 2007 ]


5. The over-arching objectives of economic regulation of airports are to:

  1. provide a credible regulatory regime to address markets where competition is not possible;
  2. constrain the scope for exercise of substantial market power by airports;
  3. protect consumers from prices that would not be consistent with those in a workably competitive market;
  4. improve certainty, timeliness and predictability for businesses; and
  5. provide for appropriate incentives for efficient investment in infrastructure, taking into account the benefits to end-users.
