ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

In April 2026, Airservices Australia (Airservices) submitted a draft price notification and supporting information to the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ as part of the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´â€™s informal pre-lodgement process for assessing price notifications. In the draft notification Airservices proposed increases to its charges for:

• enroute navigation
• terminal navigation
• aviation rescue and fire fighting services.

Airservices proposed annual price increases between the 2026–27 financial year and the 2030–31 financial year, which equates to an average weighted annual price increase of 15.2% (12.3% in real terms). Collectively, these raise the nominal weighted average price for these service lines by 103.2% (78.4% in real terms).

We engaged with Airservices to determine whether the draft price notification was complete and ready for consultation. This included confirming how confidential information would be handled and whether all required information had been provided and was accurate.

On 23 July 2026, we published Airservices’ draft price notification and supporting information.

This includes:

• regulatory business cases:
  • Western Sydney International Airport
  • OneSKY
  • Enterprise Network Modernisation Program
  • Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting - capability uplift program
  • National Network and business support services
  • Aerodrome air traffic services
  • Airspace management services
• supporting modelling
• other supporting documentation.

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ will release an issues paper for public consultation.
