The last amendment to Rule Part 92 - Carriage of Dangerous Goods is dated 22 June 2006, and the accompanying Advisory Circular (AC 92-2) was last amended on 27 April 2007 so I'm unsure as to the root of the recent changes as suggested. That said each individual Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holder has the right to determine how he applies the rule to his operations and may of course make those changes at any time.
As you say, these are not recent changes, so something must have recently brought it to the attention of the CAA that operators were not complying with the law.
The Rule is pretty clear on this: “Refer 92.11(c)(2), LPG is listed in the Dangerous Goods list in the Technical Instructions as being forbidden for carriage by air in an aircraft that carries passengers.”
Cannot see how an operator can apply this to his operation and still determine that it is permissible to carry LPG.
Check the link below and ensure to go to the bottom of the table where the conditions are stated for the carriage of LPG on passenger aircraft in the circumstances as discussed in this thread. If the operator does not have CAA approved procedures to ensure compliance with these conditions designated in their exposition, or is not able to demonstrate compliance with those procedures, then they will not be able to exercise this privilege.

Have just been told 1kg max of small butane bottles per load (flying into the Ruahines soon)
Just had a email from a heli company down south we are flying in to say no more then 1L of gas 4x250ml
So DoC will have a great time prosecuting people for having cooking fires? Or do we all go for hex stoves and hard rations!
But you are allowed to have a fire for cooking or heat on DOC land, without needing a permit.Quote:

DOC withdrew it in the end didn't they? Not that that made their actions any more sensible in the circumstances though.Quote:

The national parks apparently each have their own rules, but on other conservation land you can have a fire for cooking or warmth, unless it's a prohibited fire season. There are some rules though, such as being at least an hours walk from the road.Quote:

Had a email last night
"Finally have gotten to the bottom of this. You can take up to 4kg of the small 500ml LPG cooking cylinders. We can by no means take the big 9kg cylinders. So no need to have a campfire after all ��"
Iam happy don't need that much gas anyway
