COVID-19 is having significant impacts on all aspects of the Australian economy, including the regional aviation industry.
The consultation on the Regional Aviation Policy Statement was deferred in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
On 1 October 2020, the Department released Flying to Recovery: The Future of the Australian Aviation Sector Issues Paper that discusses the challenges and opportunities for the sector beyond COVID-19. Those who intended to contribute views on the Regional Aviation Policy Statement are invited to participate in the consultation process for the Flying to Recovery Issues Paper consultation process.
