I think the real solution for Pearce is not too move it, because that won't happen any time soon, but to modify the way the airspace is used. The problem is that it is not ATC that runs Pearce but the squadrons and they won't give up any airspace without some very high level government people getting involved and who knows what its going to take for that to happen.
Aussie,
The amount of turbo-prop aircraft using Perth is huge and they probably make most of the money for the airport but the real problem as far as I see are the amount of twin pistons such as Navajos and Barons that use up as much landing space as a jet. These aircraft should be encouraged to use JT as it would free up more landing slots during peak times.
I think these are used as overflow for the FIFO charters but surely the companies would know a couple of days in advance of the requirement to use these aircraft and could advise their workers to go to JT and not Perth?
Does anyone know any reasons why these smaller pistons couldn't use JT?
