If you’re amongst the many international aircraft operators stung by the lengthy and document-heavy process to obtain an Australian Transport Security Program<\/a> approval, good news has reached OPSGROUP HQ –\u00a0 there is a new TSP-Lite<\/strong> version that you can apply for.<\/p>\n

The Dept. of Home Affairs has created what they call a “Secretary-Issued TSP<\/em> … a new simplified way for operators who meet certain criteria to apply for a TSP”. They tell us “This application is much shorter than the standard TSP application”.<\/p>\n

Do you qualify for the new TSP-Lite?<\/h4>\n

Yes, if you can answer YES to all of these questions (the first two are the big ones):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your flights are private or charter operations and not operated on a fixed schedule or route<\/strong>; and<\/li>\n
  2. You do not have temporary or permanent operational facilities<\/strong> in Australia; and<\/li>\n
  3. You do not allow passengers or aircraft operator staff to enter the landside security zone (sterile area) of a security controlled airport; and<\/li>\n
  4. You do not allow passengers or aircraft operator staff to mix with other passengers of prescribed air services in airside areas; and<\/li>\n
  5. You do not transport persons in custody.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Dept also told us that “Under our legislation there is still the same maximum decision making time for a Secretary-Issued TSP, however in practice, the intent is that we will be able to review and approve these applications much faster.”<\/p>\n

    Crack open a slab of VB! This is great news. Now, this has just started up, so it remains to be seen how it works in practice.<\/p>\n
