Bureaucratic changes which have impacted regional airports like Mallacoota are the latest in a long list of compliance costs and regulations impacting regional aviation
Matter of urgency
The meeting agreed that CASA and Council staff would meet as a matter of urgency and take the appropriate steps to transition Mallacoota Airport to certification and restore the airfield to pre-existing service levels.
The Mallacoota Airport remains open and functional and will continue to be operational while the discussions continue around the restoration of Instrument Flight Procedures and certain Notice to Airmen functions.
