ASKARI, you try to explain that the holding at Williamtown is only done for safety. If this is so, why does the military close down over Christmas and CTAF procedures apply?

There are weekends when some of the largest passenger movements take place but the tower is not activated at all.

It sounds to me as if it has nothing to do with a genuine interest in the safety of airline passengers, but keeping the status quo. What do you think?
