Broome and Kununurra airspace review sessions
Broome and Kununurra aerodromes are serviced by an increasing number of aircraft for a range of operators, and the type and size of these aircraft has changed over recent years.
As is occurring at other locations around Australia, an increasing amount of air-traffic may have out-grown the current airspace architecture.
The CASA Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) has engaged Strategic Airspace (StratAir) to conduct an independent review of the airspace within 20NM of each of the aerodromes.
The reviews will address the type and frequency of operations, with particular emphasis on passenger transport operations.
The OAR study parameters include safety, efficiency and the provision of equitable access to the airspace by all airspace users. As such, assessment of risks to all users and particularly to passenger transport operations will be a key part of the study.
The outcome of the review will include recommendations concerning the current state of the airspace and associated air traffic/air navigation services and facilities.
The StratAir team will be conducting onsite briefings and individual interviews in the region. We encourage attendance at the group briefings and Q&A sessions.
Follow-up interviews on an individual or small group basis can also be arranged at times and venues that suit you. Note also that confidentiality can be assured.
