I do not understand why a lack of fuel is not NOTAMed. IIRC, several aircraft became stranded at YPTN during Pitch Black this year because the RAAF Caribous drank all of the Avgas.

It appears that ASA thinks that light aircraft do not need fuel to remain operational. However whenever it affects airline ops it seems to become important enough.

Currently active NOTAM at YPTN:
C598/08 REVIEW C595/08
LONG FUEL DELAYS TO HEAVY WAKE TURB CAT ACFT MAY BE EXPECTED
