****ty infrastructure, outsourcing, lack of crew, weather.
Is 15% an unusual number? ATC delays into Perth are crazy at the moment (especially in busy days), but then they have to work with a single runway half the time, no high speed taxi-ways, half of the flights have to drag their arses down to ‘D’ to vacate. The infrastructure is terrible - at least in Perth
Yep and they’ve been talking about a new runway for at least 30 years. However the airport operator is of the belief it is not required because the airport isn’t at ‘capacity’.
Same for Melbourne how long have they been talking about a parallel runway?
The problem in aviation in Australia is it is full of monopolies. The airlines are the only market which is competitive and they get to pay for all the inefficiencies of the other suppliers.
