Airservices Australia ADS-B program - another Seasprite Fiasco?

Hallelujah! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

This would not involve any additional charges to customers, and will be ‘revenue-neutral’ to Airservices.

So the airlines are not paying, AirServices are not paying but they are not saying the tax payer is not paying?

Airservices would draw upon the savings achieved through not replacing existing enroute radar and navigation aids until the avionics costs were covered. Once the avionics costs are met, the ongoing savings would be passed on to customers.

So, the airlines will continue to pay inflated charges to fund ADSB fitment to private and GA aircraft? Will they, or more importantly, their shareholders agree to that, particularly if the reputed saving is $100 milllion?

Airservices’ customers would fund the acquisition and installation of approved avionics for light aircraft.

100% of the cost?
