Could someone with far more intellect than I explain the inherent conflict of interest that Airservices has?
I think it's that Airservices makes money out of things that make noise and other pollution - aircraft - making noise and other pollution, while at the same time Airservices "must exercise its powers and perform its functions in a manner that ensures that, as far as is practicable, the environment is protected from:

(a) the effects of the operation and use of aircraft; and

(b) the effects associated with the operation and use of aircraft."

Of course, that phrase "so far is practicable" creates some complexities...
