Decree No. 92/1970

Bs. As. 15/1/70

VISTO is informed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, as proposed by the Minister of Defence, and

CONSIDERING:

That the classification of airfields set up by Decree 8091/61 offers a little elastic frame that creates difficulties, as it prevents the establishment of public airfields, if certain services are not always essential and sometimes unnecessary.

That in practice such classification has not provided substantial benefits.

That the provision of article 13 of the same decree could not be applied in its entirety by imposing the disqualification of an important amount of public airfields, especially those where the activity of aeroclubs is preponderant.

It is necessary to classify aerodromes in order to the tax regulation of article 25 of the Customs Code, which determines that they are public or private, according to the use to which they are intended.

That Articles 5th and 6th of Decree 4141/44 regulated the identification of airfields and the latter was repealed by Decree 8091/61, thus leaving a void of rules for such identification.

There is a need for general administrative regulation, which allows for proper identification of airfields in national jurisdiction.

That the aerodromes should be enabled by contemplating, as far as possible, the uniformity sought by the International Civil Aviation Organization, through the 1944 Chicago Convention and their respective annexes.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION

RIGHT:
