****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
To meet future capacity demand, the new runway is expected to be operational between 2023 and 2032, subject to actual demand and approval.
Do not despair. New runway only a matter of years away. I believe the original timeline was 2023-2028. Any bets on a slide further to the right? The public are beholden to the private interests of PADG which is owned by institutional investors and super funds. This is why we see development of retail precincts such as Woolies, Costco and DFO in favour of pushing ahead with runways. The bucket has to be spilling over before another bucket is contemplated.
