@RealStevenTripp many thanks for the opportunity today to speak about aviation industry challenges. Let’s connect and work together!

[AOPA Benjamin Morgan @aopaaustralia]

Flying SYD to BNE this morning to meet with Queensland aviation representatives to discuss general aviation challenges and reform needs.

[AOPA Benjamin Morgan @aopaaustralia]

Likewise any further pressures placed on smaller general aviation businesses by monopoly privatised airports that seek to recover their COVID losses will likely result in aviation business closures and further job losses.

[A4ANZ @A4ANZ]

Sobering reading. A4ANZ shares ACCC concern if airports seek “to use their monopoly position to charge airlines excessive prices in order to recover any lost profits [it] could limit an already vulnerable sector’s ability to recover, and impact on both consumers and the economy”

[AOPA Benjamin Morgan @aopaaustralia]

@DarrenChesterMP This from a ex Minister who failed to take action to reign in the excessive over regulation of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, crushing small business. So much for representing workers throughout the aviation sector! Who’s aircraft will you call on when Gippsland burns?

@sydney_ev @M_McCormackMP They have all been forced to close, Australia’s aviation industry is being sent to the wall through excessive airport leasehold rates and user fees!

[AOPA Benjamin Morgan @aopaaustralia]

@M_McCormackMP Safety is important; but what is your government doing to reign in unsustainable airport leasehold rates, user fees and charges, that are undermining the viability of general aviation and the airlines?

[AOPA Benjamin Morgan @aopaaustralia]

@Barnaby_Joyce Australia’s general aviation industry has been flushed by monopoly privatised airports, exposed to decades of unsustainable airside leasehold rates and excessive user charges, which have decimated our small business community.

[AOPA Benjamin Morgan @aopaaustralia]

@A4ANZ Privatised airport monopolies have undermined the economic viability and sustainability of Australia’s general aviation industry, which is now in a state of crisis. Businesses are now exposed to record level costs and fees, which are driving GA closures nationwide.
