This grants OzJet Airlines a temporary exemption allowing its Boeing 737s to operate without the life rafts normally required by aviation safety rules. It affects OzJet, its crew and passengers by relaxing that carriage requirement.

The exemption is geographically limited—only when the aircraft remains within the lesser of 120 minutes’ cruise time or 400 nautical miles from land suitable for emergency landing—and was time‑limited, ending June 2008.
