Merged: Willy ATCO's get 4 weeks holiday, meanwhile CAGRO At Newcastle saves the day!
From the CASA News....
At Newcastle -
"Between 13 December 2008 and 10 January 2009 there will be a CASA-certified air-ground radio operator to provide pilots with traffic and other information seven days a week. It will be mandatory for pilots to contact the radio operator and all aircraft must carry and use radar transponders."
Good news?
NO 'Clearances' required for transit?
Just call the CAGRO - for traffic and other info.
"Hi Ho,.. Hi Ho,.. Along The Beach We Go"............!!!
Link here - I hope!
Media release - Newcastle airport operates safely
