Ultralights,

Come on!

Oz ATC is about 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the FAA or Eurocontrol. READ the PINK section.

8 Hub airports for a population of 20 million is pretty good and indicates the vast size of Oz. Oz has less than 1/10 the population of USA, but has about 1/4 the number of hubs.

Oz ATC looks after 11% of the earths surface. Done by 600 controllers from two enroute centres. (1100 controllers in total in all Oz ATC facilities). Pretty efficient by any measure.
