That’s not my understanding - I believe the Government has waived Air Services fees and the jet fuel excise, and the value of this is $750m. However, if aircraft aren’t flying, they won’t be charged any nav fees and won’t be using any jet fuel. EDIT:It does look like the government is refunding fees already paid by the airlines - this is a good start.

However, the airlines are going to need cash injections, and fairly large ones. The sooner the government realises this and supports this, the more secure some of us may feel about our jobs.
