International Air Services Commission (IASC)

The International Air Services Commission (IASC) is an Australian government body that manages and allocates access to international flight rights for airlines operating to and from Australia. It ensures that air travel capacity is distributed fairly among airlines, supporting competition and consumer choice. The IASC assesses applications for new international routes or additional flights, considering factors like market demand and previous allocations. Its role helps regulate the international aviation market, balancing airline rights with national interests, and ensuring efficient and equitable access to international air services for Australians and visitors alike.
