Input Sought for the Future of Australian Aviation

The Australian Government is seeking input to ensure the aviation sector is sustainable in the long term. Not only to manage the current impacts on the industry, but also recovery and longer-term reform.

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications has released the Future of Australia’s Aviation Sector Issues Paper to investigate potential policy directions for the opportunities and challenges in the sector.

They want to hear from those with applicable expertise, the sector and those who rely on it. Submissions are being sought on:

• The impact of the current COVID-19 crisis, including the Australian Government's support packages; and
• Longer term policies and reforms to support development of a Five-Year Plan for Aviation.

Submissions can be made by email or in hard copy by the 13th of November, and further details are available on the department website.
