Looking through the Aviation Green Paper which has just been released, I noticed the following on page 62:
Ongoing investment in the maintenance and replacement of infrastructure and the recruitment and
retention of skilled personnel are necessary components of improved ATM.
The Government, through the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and
Local Government, outlines its priorities for Airservices in a publicly available Statement of
Expectations (Statement).
In conjunction with this Green Paper, the Government has issued a new Statement to the
Airservices Board.
The new Statement requires Airservices to focus on delivering core air traffic and aviation rescue
and fire fighting services. This is what the community and industry rightly expects Airservices to deliver best, not the pursuit of side or ancillary activities or overseas ventures.
Interesting... I wonder if the government is expecting Airservices to alter the way it does business.
