The Issue

The government has committed to delivering a new Aviation White Paper to guide continued recovery of the Australian aviation industry from the COVID-19 pandemic and maximise opportunities for growth, innovation and sustainability. The White Paper will examine the government policy and economic reforms necessary to promote the efficiency, safety, sustainability, productivity and competitiveness of the aviation sector through to 2050.

On 7 February 2023, the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Hon Catherine King MP, released the Terms of Reference for the Aviation White Paper. A period of consultation following the Terms of Reference release included a submissions process and series of roundtable sessions. Feedback from this consultation period informed the development of the Aviation Green Paper.

The Aviation Green Paper outlines the key challenges and opportunities for the aviation sector.
