Government Policy Objectives
34 The Government considers the safety of passenger transport services as the first priority in airspace administration and CASA should respond quickly to emerging changes in risk levels for passenger transport operations. Airspace administration should also seek to deliver good safety outcomes to all aviation participants.
35 The Government expects that CASA will continue the reform of Australia’s airspace and move towards closer alignment with the ICAO system and adoption of proven international best practice.
36 The Government has also identified three specific airspace policy objectives in relation to the administration and use of Australian-administered airspace which are detailed in paragraphs 37 to 43 and outlined below:
- support for ICAO’s Global Air Traffic Management (ATM) Operational Concept and use of ICAO airspace classifications;
- enhanced ATM services at regional aerodromes regularly served by passenger transport services, as determined by CASA; and
- effective cooperation between CASA and Australia’s air navigation service providers, including Airservices and Defence.
