A4ANZ applauds Federal Government’s Aviation Recovery Framework
The Australia airline industry welcomed the announcement of the Aviation Recovery Framework which outlines the Federal Government’s priorities for the sector as it continues its recovery.
Commenting on the Deputy Prime Minister’s announcement, Airlines for Australia & New Zealand (A4ANZ) Chairman, Professor Graeme Samuel, said that the strategic priorities outlined in the framework provided an important acknowledgement of the need to support the sector’s recovery.
A4ANZ welcomed the Government’s commitment to:-establish a Strategic Aviation Advisory Forum to advise Government.
"There is good reason for optimism as we look ahead, but the road to recovery has already shown itself to be a bumpy one, with significant setbacks caused not only by the arrival of new Covid-19 variants but by the imposition of sudden and inconsistent border controls," Samuel said.
"It is critical that -with Australia now one of the most vaccinated countries in the world -domestic restrictions and border controls remain sensible and proportionate, to maintain connectivity."
A4ANZ CEO, Dr Alison Roberts said: "The experience and uncertainty of the past two years have reinforced the need for support to be flexible to changing conditions."
"As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, support is more than the necessary financial measures that have helped the aviation sector through the worst of the pandemic. It is about ensuring that the right policy settings are in place across the whole aviation ecosystem."
"We look forward to working with the Government through the implementation of this framework."
