And introduce a real slot time system, not the half-a#sed COBT.
But either way FIX IT for pities sake! Have you any idea how pathetic this circus looks from anywhere outside Australia?
I think by this stage you’ve figured out the crux of this conundrum, ATC does what they can with what they’ve got. And when the majority of capital city airports here have poor (or no) access to high speed taxiways, awkward taxiway placement and inefficiencies in flow management capability the amount of investment needed to get us up to speed with proper modern airports would amount to billions... And I don’t know if there are many willing investors out there!
