7  Explanatory outline of this Part

      The Act requires the Commission to assess the benefit to the public of allocations of capacity when deciding whether to make, renew or vary a determination. This Part sets out criteria that the Commission is to have regard to in assessing the benefit to the public of allocations of capacity in particular circumstances.
      There are two main sets of criteria that the Commission is to have regard to in assessing the benefit to the public: the 'reasonable capability criterion' and the 'additional criteria'. When and how the Commission is to have regard to the criteria is set out in Part 3.
      In certain circumstances specified in Part 3, the Commission is to have regard to other criteria which are not set out in this Part. These include, for example, the matters referred to in paragraph 18(2)(b) or subsection 16(2) of this instrument.
      The criteria set out in this Part apply equally in assessing the benefit to the public of allocations to be exercised through own aircraft operations, code share arrangements and other joint international air services.
