ACCC Decision16 Oct 2024

On 16 October 2024, the ACCC released a decision to not object to Airservices Australia's proposed weighted average 6% price increase for its enroute, terminal navigation, and aviation rescue and fire fighting services, as set out in Airservices Australia’s 1 October 2024 formal price notification. The prices proposed in the formal price notification are consistent with the prices proposed by Airservices Australia in its 10 July 2024 amended draft price notification.

While the ACCC does not object to the proposed price increase, the ACCC notes it has identified several areas for improvement for future price notifications regarding Airservices Australia’s consultation processes and performance metrics.

Subject to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government not disapproving the proposed price increase within 30 days of being notified, Airservices Australia is expected to implement the price increases on 1 December 2024.
