Answer
As Associate Minister of Transport, I approved the Civil Aviation Authority Board Fees increases on 17 February 2026. In accordance with the Cabinet Fees Framework, the fees are now: • Chair: $84,600 • Deputy Chair: $52,875 • Members: $42,300 Previous Fees were: • Chair: $53,460 • Deputy Chair: $32,313 • Members: $25,850 Outside of a 10 percent increase in 2023 to match band adjustments in the Fees Framework, the Authority had not had a fee adjustment since the 2013/14 financial year. That review did not result in substantive changes.
