On 8 June 2012, Airservices Australia (Airservices) provided the ACCC with a formal price notification proposing increases to its charges for terminal navigation (TN) and aviation rescue and fire-fighting (ARFF) services, effective from 1 July 2012. The proposed price increases are the same as those that were outlined in Airservices’ long-term pricing agreement, which was assessed by the ACCC in 2011.
The ACCC released its decision to not object to Airservices' price notification on 27 June 2012.
Prior to lodgement of the formal price notification, Airservices provided the ACCC with a draft of its proposal as part of the ACCC’s informal pre-lodgement process for assessing price notifications. This was provided to the ACCC on 2 May 2012.
The ACCC found it appropriate to assess Airservices’ price notification under a ‘short-form’ assessment process, which included consulting with members of Airservices’ Pricing Consultative Committee on the draft proposal.
