Cattlewtruck,
Big and Complex??
You speak in jest, of course.
One major airline group -- about the size of an outstation for a US major.
One smaller airline group, a statistical rounding error by US or EU standards.
A small and diminishing number of small regional carriers.
Most larger business aircraft not even on the VH- register.
A shrinking GA sector, a fraction of the size of 20 years ago.
A list of "approved" maintenance orgs. a fraction of even ten years ago.
"Heavy" maintenance has largely disappeared from Australia.
Avgas sales down about 40% in the last several years.
What manufacturing there is mostly being conducted on FAA or EASA approvals.
A flying training sector that has almost disappeared , except for a handful doing contract airline cadet training --- a pale shadow of even NZ.
Big and complex???
Tootle pip!!
