Good results from northern safety sweep
Earlier this month CASA successfully completed a safety sweep across northern Australia. A team of CASA inspectors, safety advisers and alcohol and drug testers carried out safety checks at more than 25 aerodromes over more than two weeks.
Numerous alcohol and drug tests were conducted on a range of aviation personnel. These included commercial and private pilots, maintenance personnel, cabin crew, baggage handlers, refuelers and airport staff on the airside.
Importantly, all of the tests were negative.
