AUSTRALIA’S major gateways have welcomed a Productivity Commission investigation into airport regulation (TD Fri), and called for current arrangements to be maintained.
“In the last 20 years airports have worked tirelessly to encourage new airlines to Australia and build better facilities to make it easy and affordable for passengers to travel more often,” said Australian Airports Association (AAA) chief executive officer Caroline Wilkie.
“Australia’s major airports have invested $11.5 billion in improvements over the last 10 years, ensuring passengers now enjoy better terminals, more choice and cheaper airfares.”
The AAA noted previous Productivity Commission reviews had endorsed the current “light-handed regulatory approach”, as had successive governments.
