Terminal navigation services at Avalon Airport 2009

On 21 December 2009, Airservices Australia provided the ACCC with a price notification (copy available at below link) which proposes to establish a price for terminal navigation services at Avalon airport.

Airservices proposes to commence charging for a terminal navigation service that will apply to aircraft landing at Avalon aerodrome from 1 February 2010 at a price of $5.49 (incl. GST) per tonne.

On 11 January 2010, Airservices provided the ACCC with additional information (copy available at below link) to assist with the ACCC's consideration of this matter.

Based on its consultation with stakeholders and its benchmarking of costs and prices, the ACCC had no compelling reason to find Airservices proposed price unreasonable. Therefore, under Part VIIA, the ACCC’s decision is to not object to Airservices’ proposed price of $5.49 (incl. GST) per tonne for a terminal navigation service provided to aircraft landing at Avalon aerodrome.

The reasons for the ACCC's decision are set out in the paper available at below link.
