Airservices Australia has released its Australian Aviation Network Overview report for April 2024.
Highlights include:
- The average number of flights grew by 2 per cent during April, driven by Easter school holiday demand.
- Overall air traffic management outcomes have trended favourably in recent months.
- In April, Airservices attributed capacity constraints affected 2.1 per cent of flights, similar to the rate observed in March.
- Where ground delay program (GDP) periods were implemented, 9.2 per cent of ground delay periods and 0.4 per cent of cancellations were attributable to Airservices, well below the monthly average of the past year.
- However short-term staff availability challenges particularly in the second half of April around Sydney and Perth demonstrate that service levels continue to be variable.
- We remain focused on further improving service outcomes through our training and recruitment programs, and refining enabling processes and systems.
