The ACCC proposes to grant authorisation to the Board of Airline Representatives of Australia Inc (BARA) to continue to collectively bargain and to make and give effect to arrangements for the acquisition of Essential Aviation Services from operators of international airports and providers of essential aviation services, and suppliers or potential suppliers of Australian Government-mandated security services that exhibit natural monopoly characteristics.

The ACCC proposes to grant authorisation for a period of 10 years.

The ACCC is now seeking submissions in response to the draft determination by 6 March 2025, before making its final decision. Further details about the application and how to make a submission are available on the ACCC’s public register.
