What you need to know
The UA Integration Leadership Group first met in 2018, and meets at least once every 6 months. We chair and administer the group which is made up of senior officials from our ministry, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Airways New Zealand, and the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE). Other people with relevant expertise are sometimes invited to attend.
We publish the minutes from each meeting.
