AVV Facilities
Avalon has great facilities have improved greatly over the years but what about SAFETY ISSUES?
1 - Will there be full ATC and Radar facilities available locally to incoming Air Asia and JQ flights or will they still be talking to MEL Radar. Who will check the runway for obstructions (kangaroos?) at dawn and dusk.
2 - Will the closest fire truck still have to come from Lara or Corio in the event of an emergency involving 150+ passengers and crew? (QANTAS fire engines have been moved from the old MOC I believe.)
3 - The same question regarding ambulance services? JQ must operate into out of AVV under some waiver or other. But with increased high density Air Asia flights - How does that work and does the Fox Corporation have enough insurance in the event of an incident?
Would this lack of safety services at an Airport offering scheduled passenger flights be acceptable in any other modern country in the world? Is it acceptable here or do we have to wait for a disaster or near disaster to discuss it further.
